Biology 101 says that we can approximate most creature’s values by treating them as resource-limited maximisers of their own genes. Current compression reduces the human genome to about 70mb, so that’s a first estimate. Humans also spend some of their time acting as maximisers of the genomes of their symbionts (foodstuffs, pets, parasites, memes) - which if anything seems likely to add to the complexity of their values.
