We naturally care most for our family or community above all else because of evolution and that's how humans were for most of our existence? If you take like middle of the bell-curve levels of empathy, people feel empathy for complete strangers on the opposite side of the planet very readily (and to an extent that idk how someone would even try to explain with ev bio or w/e beyond just acknowledging that people are essentially hard wired to feel empathy). I think the bigger issue there is that it's clearly easy to stoke xenophobic sentiment and inhibit that normal level of empathy or to shelter people from humanizing exposure to remote people affected by our choices or actions.
