Annotation:

Contemporary issues of anthroposociogenesis are inextricably linked to the profound aspects of building hierarchical relationships and leadership in human communities. The deepening of social problems can threaten humanity's existence as a species and have unpredictable consequences for future generations. That is why it is extremely important to understand the biological factors of social ranking in order to create progressive principles for humanity's development. The study aims to analyse the current literature and systematise and summarise the main biological determinants in the formation of hierarchical relations and leadership behaviour in human society and the animal world. The biological basis of social behaviour of human communities formed the basis for the creation of biopolitics, which, based on knowledge of the regulatory principles of the natural world and the biological basis of leadership, creates principles of optimal political life. Such biological determinants of social ranking include genetic and neurophysiological features, related innate properties of the brain and psyche, dominance and hierarchy, adaptation, instincts, etc. Genetic determination of the anatomical and physiological features of neural and hormonal systems largely determines the properties of higher nervous activity, including developing strategies and tactics for social behaviour and the desire for power or its absence. The formation of human society's social structure is largely determined by genetic, anatomical, physiological, behavioural, and other factors. Power mechanisms are necessary evolutionary tools for humanity's survival as a species. Accordingly, knowledge of the biological foundations of power, leadership, and social ranking will help create optimal principles of political management.
