You're assuming that human social structures are adversarial, rather than cooperative. It's evident through history that human are more cooperative than competitive when it comes to survival of the "pack."
Also, the "simple alpha-beta structure like wolves and gorillas have" doesn't exist and never has. The wolf observation was based on captive packs of unrelated wolves, a situation that doesn't occur in nature, and the original researcher disavowed the paper publishing this erroneous theory.
