Amazing article, it's notable that great amount of effort has been invested in it, good job! I especially like the corporate pyramid example, and pointing out that people on top still need to work very hard, and that in animal kingdom being the dominant figure comes with the price. I would also like to comment on good genes hypothesis in humans, as someone who had evolution biology and evolution psychology as majors - although it is true that we have developed complex social establishment and that we have advanced in technology and medicine, according to evolution psychology research, we are definitely still selecting for the 'good genes' for our offspring, and that is why everyone is attracted to beautiful people (in biology, beauty means face symmetry, height, body proportions, even complexion, etc, which are all indicators of 'good genes'), even if it's not 'politically correct' to say this, it's just the biology. So in humans positive phenotypic assortative mating exist, meaning that individuals with similar phenotypes are more likely to mate than those that are very different in physical appearance.
