I have come to the conclusion that only the northern European brain has true empathy.

You don't see it in Africans or Jews. Not rel sure about India but people in WW2 know they didn't see it in Japanese. I doubt Chinese have it.

I think it is probably a unique brain structure that evolved to promote joint cooperation without which people in the north wouldn't survive winters.

I would like to see a study to locate the part of the brain where empathy originates because then you could prove it didn't exist in some people.

Addendum

The reason that this is important to understand is European people will make the very dangerous mistake in a situation of assuming that the other person will not want to hurt them too badly. Oh the other person might defend themselves or might hit them or something if there's a confrontation but a European makes the assumption that if they're losing a fight the other person isn't going to go ahead and kill them. But that's a dangerous assumption when you're not in a group of other europeans. If you're in a group of Africans they absolutely will go ahead and kill you without a second thought. And I think it's probably true of Asians as well. Although Asians are more intelligent and might have other reasons for not getting into the fight or the confrontation to begin with. But it's most important to realize it in today's societies where we have to interact with Africans all the time and we just have to realize that these people will kill us without a second thought and you have to adjust how you act and are in the defensive measures you need to be willing to take because your life is at risk anytime you have a confrontation with an african. whereas if you have a confrontation with another European you might get in a fight you might get a black eye you might get knocked down but it's going to be pretty rare that your life is going to be at risk.
