But humans do have a nature and values do have functions -- note that humans in general today live longer, healthier, and more active lives than our predecesors (think back to the morality of the peasantry in Medieval Times). It is true people get used to their values (after all, they work well enough to satisfy their wants), and are reluctant to give them up, but the naturalistic form of humankind suggests that, in general terms, there is a way of going about things that would contribute to overall well-being.
