The self domestication hypothesis is interesting, and it was probably a component of early social structures, but I think it is also overly simplified and not taking into account the complex and intertwined relationships and tradeoffs of those annoyingly domineering and violent individuals. Within a group, so-called psychopaths/sociopaths are more likely to end-up as leaders or outcasts, outcasts were removed from the gene pool one way or an other, but leaders privileged access to females likely compensated for this "self-pruning". I other words, this hypothesis seems overly simple and weak, from my perspective.
