Yeah the English translation is misleading. They're "shuhada" in Arabic, "witnesses", because they died in a shaheed way (noble death in Islam) so... not really "martyrs".

Yes but you implied that even if there's no alpha male in wolves, there's alpha male in chimps and while we can't apply wolf's power dynamic to humans, we can with chimps because they're a closer species to us. I wanted to point out that there's another close relatives of us and chimps (the bonobos) who are not actually violent so we still can't justify male violence on humans because we find it in chimps.

Yeah but bonobos are close to chimpanzees and humans too yet they have totally different culture than chimpanzees.

In fact, bonobos used to be a subspecies of chimpanzees but because that nonviolent culture, they've become their own species.

I want to recommend Perfecto De Castro's guitar tutorial too. While he is teaching music theory for guitars, it helped me to understand some basics applicable to music in general as well.
