I think dogs and chickens and horses etc are a bit different because of the pecking order in packs. I think... There is meant to be the most conflict between a member and the member that is the next highest in the order as they challenge them for their place.
I'm not sure that it is quite the same with people...
> Anyone familiar with the behavior patterns in primates?Not really. You could probably do a google...

Sibling rivalry might be interesting...What do you think about gender differences and conflict, Dinah? I'm not sure that you get a lot of conflict directed your way specifically. Gender differences?
