Humans can be neatly reduced to a "procreate, and make sure your progeny procreate" value function. A lot of apparent counterexamples to that turn out to make sense when 2nd order effects on progeny are considered.

Humans are adaptation-executors, not fitness-maximizers. Evolution has a procreation value function; humans have procreation-favoring traits.
