What makes humans love there kids when born & slowly grow?
Is it human cells? We don't even have to think about it & we already care for are kids. What causes this? What is the part of the human body that doesn't have to think and is almost automatic in most natural healthy humans. It's not that I don't love my kids, it is that I want to know what causes the human body to do this

Loving someone is a complex behaviour so that has to be in the brain somewhere. I don't suppose anyone can point to a single cell, and zapping someone in the head with X-rays till they didn't love their kids anymore would be unethical (and really wasteful of "volunteers" since you are just as likely to zap the bits that control breathing or feeding themselves).
Any species that produces few and helpless offspring then doesn't look after them, or walks off the first time the kid throws up on their best shoes or pulls their hair, won't last very long. It must be an evolved behaviour.

we evolved to care for our young
those that do are more likely to have offspring that survive long enough to reproduce
