Why are you not mentioning that we Humans are hardcoded per hormones to want to reproduce?
(Prepuberty me realized that, and precommited to remember that it might be a good idea to ignore that voice in your head telling you to have kids without bringing forth arguments)
Are we really, though? We may be, but it's not necessary. We are hardcoded to want sex, and before contraception, that was sufficient to make us reproduce.
There are a lot of women who report strong emotions to having children when they reach a certain age. To me that looks "hardcoded".
