Looking at all the facts, the species Homo Sapien (human) seems to have the longest record by far for tending/raising their own offspring.
Most animals in the wild only 'put up' with their children until they are sexually mature.
Humans can sexually mature anywhere from 9-15 years of age.
How is it then, it that case, that:
1) We keep raising our children so much longer than biologically necessary?
2) Most women become fertile again either immediately or soon after giving birth, which suggests that our biological law requires us to produce one offspring at least once a year. How on Earth would a single human (or even a partnership of humans) raise and tender to all of their children if they had at least one every single year?
