I see what you're saying, but a  few thousand years ago you wouldn't have known anybody but your kin group.

Right.  So in a few thousand years these tendencies developed from caring about kin groups to my giving a poop about Andaman islanders. Probably not a lot of evolutionary pressure for that, unless we get pretty abstract.

But I'm not going there, partially because I'm not all that familiar with evolutionary psychology, but mostly because I don't feel like it.
