Dominance displays are commonly observed in male animals—often primates—who seek to improve their social status. Behaviors like stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, and throwing rocks serve to intimidate rivals and impress onlookers, showing strength, boldness, and creativity. The core idea is that:
Spectacular and vigorous displays = greater social impact
This leads to faster ascent in the hierarchy and longer dominance
In evolutionary terms, such behaviors may be selected for because high status often brings better access to resources, including mates.
