That's not true. Not even close. the 'evolutionary need to care for our children/young' typically ends shortly after the can care for themselves, some even go as far as adolesence, but once they hit a certain age they 'family' is typically broken up. It is very rare even for higher cognitive able animals to maintain close relationships with off spring for a whole life time.
