I think you’ve got the tail and the dog backwards. Empathy is something one learns.
Not really. "Empathy" is a term scientist use in autism field all the time, and it is also used by scientists when studying animals.
Animals do not record language and develop rituals to the degree that human beings do, although we are still learning about chemical trails, geographic arrangements and gestures / verbal of animals.
The term used for learned concern for others is "compassion", it has a long-standing meaning. You go to a school to learn compassion, those schools are frequently Buddhist temples, Hindu temples, Christian church, etc. It is education based / experience based / ritual based teaching.
There are also methods used to remove compassion, unlearn it, and redirect it. Military "boot camp" throughout history and geography is also a useful study on this.
There's nothing here!
