I would suggest that you do some actual reading of anthropology - or just look up what the term “nuclear family” means and where it started.

I am willing to bet you will be fairly shocked at how recent it is, given your comment.

I think you’re actually confused about the term, see my responses elsewhere in this thread.

If you are going to refuse to actually look at what the term means and insist that you are correct there is no conversation to be had.

Look, I don’t know what to tell you. Dictionaries contain the meanings of words and terms as commonly used. If you look up “nuclear family,” the meaning comports entirely with how I have been using the term. I’m sorry that’s inconvenient for your self conception.
