    so when Z-day arrives do you think that one zombie may lead the others, examples of z's doing this is in land of the dead, the black gas station attendant and in i am legend the zombie that smashes through the plexiglass barrier by headbutting it!

    When it arrives???

    NO

    but after a while they will "evolve" and choose a leader like Barach Obama in "Land of the Dead"

    Well human nature and by definition most of the animal kingdom, there is always an alpha position held by someone.

    I dont believe Z's have the capibilty to think in that way so Im not going fear a horde led by an alpha Z.

    i think its plausible zombies as a creature are driven by instinct. wolves are also an example of a instinct driven animal and there is always an alpha within the pack

    Wolves are driven by instinct, not controlled by it. They have intelligence, so to speak, and can learn and adapt.

    Zombie's are driven by a need to feed. That's it. They cant evolve in the traditional sense, as evolution occurs over succesive generations. While you could say that biting someone might be creating a 'new' zombie, that zombie would have the same intelligence as the one who bit it.

    Then again, assuming its a virus, its possible that they can change through a mutation of the virus, which could possibly allow them some sort of intelligence, or allow them to act as a traditional pack would. In this case, then its possible that an Alpha could be created.

    I think seeing Michael Jackson as a zombie would be quite funny...

    I don't think it's even a need to feed, that whole loop back system won't be working. I think all they will hold on to is a desire to be near and in contact with other people and that's a drive that comes from the virus. All the virus needs to do is trigger a certain thought in the head before they pass on, even if that thought is hug other people it would be enough to give the Zombie the drive to get into contact with other people and spread the infection.

    The Zombie is just a shell for the virus, it's the viruses needs that should be looked at.
