Territory and hunting grounds are a form of wealth, in that it is a form of control over shelter and natural resources like food and water.
Money is a social construct for trading value, but is not itself a prerequisite for the accumulation of value (wealth).

Yes, most social contracts do stem from evolved strategies. That was my original point.
But parenting in humans varies from culture to culture. That's what makes it a social construct.
