This is nice evidence:

Child rearing practices of distant ancestors foster morality, compassion in kids

“Three new studies led by Notre Dame Psychology Professor Darcia Narvaez show a relationship between child rearing practices common in foraging hunter-gatherer societies (how we humans have spent about 99 percent of our history) and better mental health, greater empathy and conscience development, and higher intelligence in children.”

Good article. It tallies with Meredith F. Small’s books Our Babies, Ourselves and Kids. Small also writes about the importance of chores.
