Summary

This quote suggests that child protection and parental care, as well as the biological organs responsible for them, are influenced by the kin-selection principle. The kin-selection principle is a theory in evolutionary biology that explains behavior that promotes the survival of genetically related offspring. Here, the quote suggests that the act of protecting and caring for one's own children and the biological mechanisms supporting these behaviors can be attributed to the natural workings of kin-selection in nature.
