I thought that consensus rule was the dominant form of organanisation up to fairly recently, maybe 200000 years ago. This seems to work well for groups of about 50-70 individuals. Leaders and followers by that theory is something that comes with agriculture and trade and the larger groups needed for that. So I wouldn't be so sure that it's "in our dna".
