Few people mean forager values when use the term traditional values. I also not claim that the model has universal usage for everyone. I’m mainly saying that it should be considered, when it fulfills the utility functions of the involved persons.
When people in modern Western culture talk about traditional values, they usually mean the reputed values of the middle classes circa 1950 or so. The point I’m trying to make is that those values aren’t necessarily reflective of the conditions most people lived under for most of history (never mind prehistory), and thus that they aren’t necessarily a good guide to what people will “naturally” be happy with.
