Just substitute money for tubers. Hunter Gatherer: collect nuts, tubers, kill some bison. Modern Man: get the money, collect some skills, fire some underlings. Maybe our brain has adapted those base instincts. And modern burn out is more equivalent to what early man would experience in a famine, during times of scarcity. If you can't get the money, you starve. Burn Out is the Modern Man equivalent to the stress the Early Man would feel in a harsh environment and near starving.
