I did take a sociology class actually, and some psychology classes. It was badly worded, I confess, but the point remains: the system in which parents raise children, regardless of familial structure, is the norm for the great majority of species with brains larger than a pea. That is directly observable. Do you wish to dispute it? Animals operating purely on instinct need not be socialized, but the greater the socialization required, the longer that species' young tend to be in the care of their parents. That is built into our genes.
