Imagine if phrenology caught on as the latest pop-culture dipshit trend.

“My bumpy skull means I’m preternaturally predisposed to be polygamous and misogynist, and I’m just looking for a girl who has a compatible set of head bumps.”

“If you can’t handle me at my alimentivenest, you don’t deserve me at my inhabitivenest.”

I’m an alpha male: barely able to keep myself running and likely to completely break down if I encounter something I’m not prepared to deal with.

To be more precise, Shenkel’s work was discredited by the collective efforts of numerous scientists studying wolf behaviour. Probably the most notable of these was David Mech. His book “The Wolf” was based on Shenkel’s work, and his own research on wolves in captivity, and was really the work that popularized the “alpha” nonsense in the public mind.

After numerous studies of wolves in the wild failed to bear out these conclusions, Mech later concluded that his work was wrong, and got The Wolf removed from publication.
