Is there an evolutionary explanation for shame?

Are there any animals that exhibit shame?

Apparently, birds and mammals have the rudimentary neural circuitry required to feel shame or guilt.

Supposedly, in primates, it was meant to enable altruistic behaviour (source : https://www.rickhanson.net/evolutionary-neurobiology-shame/ ).

Dogs at least pretend to have shame when they, for example, destroy a pillow or eat the lunch you left on the table, and then confront them

shame as in cringe by watching a video of cringe is basically empathy misfiring
shame as in "I fucked the dog and the whole tribe now knows" is the same status preservation mechanism that forces you to wear clothes, to shower, to not say autistic bullshit so you don't get ostracized alone with the lions

its pretty obvious, does it really need a thread OP?

I suppose it could mitigate poor behaviors due to mental disorder in social species.
