Yeah but history doesn't really ever seem to cover if generations of parents had the emotional capacity to love their children.
That's true although I was more just making a cheeky joke than anything else.
I'm no anthropologist or psychologist or anything but I'd venture a guess people used to be even more aloof in their love of their children. It has to be harder to form those bonds when you expect to just have some of your kids die by virtue of simply existing before modern medicine.
Seems to be only recently humans have really developed this societal belief in "childhood" and really even concerning ourselves with mental health as a concept.
