Humans are the only animals that create/invent "social constructs."

I'd argue that other social mammals (i.e. dogs and dolphins and the other great apes) also have socially-constructed roles (e.g. pack leader), though aligned to a more "classical" axis of power driven by biology and development (wherein older, more experienced members of the pack sit atop the social hierarchy.

However, in contrast to the types of created/invented/semantic social constructs which humans impose upon each other inorganically, the types found in animal species are [let's call it] inherited, in that they're assumed via consensus among all members and are intent-agnostic.

Only humans are distractible, gullible, and certain individuals frankly stupid enough to fall for the propagandistic, intent-antagonistic type of social engineering bullshit that is TWAW.
