I wonder how our ancestors ever managed to do anything let alone build a world we live in without having someone to teach them empathy.

It's ridiculous.

We have a pandemic of narcissism thanks to social media and when they see this they go, great I can use that thing called empathy to get what I want.

On other hand I know people who have too much empathy living in constant depression, because, you know, there's suffering in the world. Somewhere.

Our ancestors didn't need to feel empathy towards words on a screen, and usually had powerful motivators (e.g. god, the threat of violence, imminent starvation) to work past together.
