We all have behaviors bred into us; they're instinct. Different species have different instincts and those instincts evolved somehow. I think it's entirely possible for submission or dominance to be genetic. Remember, we're never at the end of evolution, we're always in the middle of it.

I'm not saying it is or isn't genetic, I'm just saying that it's possible that it is.
