Install Odling-Smee's niche construction — organisms modify the selection pressures they bequeath, as ecological inheritance — as the ecology theory the essay names but does not use. Discriminator versus the replicators essay: score a value-formula's copy separately from whether the constructed environment still reconstructs the practice. Hosts: dairying before lactase persistence (Gerbault et al. 2011; milk residues in western Turkey by 8500 BP where adult lactase remains rare); Montagnais family hunting territories (Leacock 1954 against Speck; Demsetz 1967 on when a property regime pays); Rose's population versus high-risk strategy, run on North Karelia (Vartiainen 2018). Until those two objects sit on separate ledgers, "values are ecology" does not yet say which spend — catechize the formula, or maintain the dairy, the trapping grounds, the salt in the bread. Author dispositions stay author-owned.
