The battle of dominion at the very bottom of the evolutionary chain, is simply dominion over extinction; an urge for survival. As we come higher in the chain, we face new battles for dominion, which are battle of dominion between species, which species comes higher in the food chain, which species relies less on other species' survival (adoptability) and who gets the ladies!!!!

In higher mamals and primates however the mood suddenly changes, there is an urge for dominion within the species, which is called "who leads the gang around here dude?", this is why male lion defines a territory and aggressively defends it, although I must say the move up the chain does not mean that the lower battles of dominion are phased out, no a male lion still needs to sit on his ass while the lady does the shopping or in this case hunting. Interesting enough through out evolution domination of a gender over the other gender (male over female, or vise versa) has become less important, while standing out among the other members of the same gender has gained importance, the main battle is over which Lion gets to keep the ladies (The Dominant) and who goes with his tail wagging between his legs (The Subordinate).

Humans (as higher primates) also face the battle of dominion, in our notion we call this "leading or being led". In case of mankind the battle has evolved into curious dimensions that of races, religions, countries and football teams!

The interesting fact of the matter is that there is another side to dominion which is subordination, for he who leads, there is one who is led. So in a sense the relationships, all of them whether romantic, sexual, financial or so on, involves one who is dominant and one who is dominated. This is like the negative and positive poles of a magnet. This is what ensures that a relationship is sustained (although one does not necessarily need to be dominant in every aspect of the relationship)
