On the contrary, he uses this natural condition to his own advantage; in other words, he finds SOCIABLE animals, and renders them DOMESTIC by becoming their associate and chief.

Thus, the DOMESTICITY of animals is only a special condition, a simple modification, a definitive consequence of their SOCIABILITY.
All domestic animals are by nature sociable animals.".. .-- Flourens: Summary of the Observations of F.Cuvier.
Sociable animals follow their chief by INSTINCT; but take notice of the fact (which F.Cuvier omitted to state), that the function of the chief is altogether one of INTELLIGENCE.

The chief does not teach the others to associate, to unite under his lead, to reproduce their kind, to take to flight, or to defend themselves.

Concerning each of these particulars, his subordinates are as well informed as he.

But it is the chief who, by his accumulated experience, provides against accidents; he it is whose private intelligence supplements, in difficult situations, the general instinct; he it is who deliberates, decides, and leads; he it is, in short, whose enlightened prudence regulates the public routine for the greatest good of all.
Man (naturally a sociable being) naturally follows a chief.
