It is a complex eusociality and teach/taught are part of the same thing.(in my mind)

on empathy I think the word requires a split cognitive empathy (the ability to figure out what the other guy is thinking/feeling) and emotional empathy (giving a shit about what the other guy things and feels).

if one lacks cognitive empathy he is a aspie.

lacking emotional empathy is sociopathy.

The chimps I met have a bit of the first one and none of the second.
