Most people that don't live in Africa do.

Because it's an abstract concept. Abstract concepts are much more difficult to engage human emotions.

It wasn't something that was necessary for our day to day lives living in small nomadic tribes.

Someone starving and dieing in front of you will wretch your emotions out of your chest. Being told it's happening to random people you don't know thousands of miles away doesn't have that affect. For obviously evolutionary reasons.
