From the very beginning, our species behaved hierarchically, just like chimpanzees, with whom we share a common ancestor.We have always colluded in the principle that some people are much more important than the rest, that some deserve the jewels, the gold, the wealth；and in a pyramid formation, society should be upheld by the have-not masses forming the base.These thoughts are very much on my mind as I direct a new play by Oliver Cotton that asks searching questions about inequality.
Why didn't we humans collectively agree from the outset that we should all be equal? Or at least that those at the pinnacle of the pyramid shouldn't have too much, and those at the base shouldn't have too little? Our species is bewilderingly flawed, capable of things angelic, equally capable of behaving like beasts.The shockingly unfair world we live in is entirely of our own making.
Every attempt to unmake what we humans have made has pretty much ended in disaster：venality, corruption, dictatorship.Religions,the framers of new constitutions, and revolutionary movements all declare our equality.And yet, even in our enlightened social democratic western world, we remain utterly unequal—probably more so now than at any previous time.
I'm not being an activist when I register incomprehension at the man who so commendably started a company he called Amazon in his garage, and who now has a personal fortune of $83bn.Are there countless people out there who want one day to be able to say, "I'm worth$83bn"? Is it possible that the world's wealth will, in some not-distant future,be concentrated in the hands of even fewer people than it is now?
I have had my share of good luck.I was in a state of disbelief when two shows I directed—Les Miserables and Cats—enjoyed international commercial success.But my surprise didn't become a determination to get richer.
I have to presume that the motive for acquisition is competition：that driving force, that god in Margaret Thatcher's universe, the market.Competition to defeat all your rivals, competition to be able to declare you have more wealth than anybody, even Bill Gates.
Whenever I visit Paris, I contemplate the sheer scale of the Louvre.It is vast, comprising hundreds of rooms.This was once the home of French royalty.It is grotesquely out of proportion.The excess is so palpable；it's not really surprising that the reaction against such opulence ultimately culminated in the French Revolution.

答案：
解析：
：根据文章第一段所提到的内容，特别是与大猩猩作为等级制度的例子相比较，可以推断出"hierarchically"的意思是在不同的层次或等级上。文章指出人类社会一直以来都遵循着一种原则，即有些人比其他人更重要，社会像一个金字塔，由不同层级的人构成。因此，“D. At different levels depending on importance，rank or position”（根据不同的重要性、地位或职位分等级）是正确的解释。
