Nature is a sort of "primal parent" though. Why else do we call her "Mother Nature" and other names like that? Humankind considers her our mother (or at least SOME of us do, apparently those awful logger/forest-destroyer chappies don't) because she "gave birth to us" (enabled the evolution of the human race) and "protected" us (sustained our survival by keeping a relatively steady environment).
