    Not sure why this is so downvoted , it’s an interesting question.

    There are many things that made us shoot forward in the evolutionary arm race, but one the parts is the sharing of knowledge and values to our offspring.

    Children want to learn from their parents, and parents want to teach their children in the same way they learnt from their parents.

    The early humans who started this generational knowledge sharing fared better, and humans became more social and dependent on each other, while the humans focused on themselves more than their offspring perished.

    It’s in our nature to care for our next generation, in the same way the previous generation cared for us.
