Empathy is a type of information in two threads, apparently.
Did you just paste the same quote in two threads?

No information is transferred to the genome by empathy. As most animals do not have theory of mind there is a very strong argument that most animals do not experience empathy.

Re: About empathy
If you do not have a theory of mind you cannot by definition experience empathy.
This is basic stuff any psychology undergraduate knows.
