We're not on the savanna hunting antelope anymore, so knowing that you're feeling, "scared of being eaten by the lion behind me" is no longer granular enough to be useful.

Human ancestors evolved social skills way before they descended to the savanna. Chimps kill each other all the time, maybe evolving a way to predict feelings would be useful there?
