Truthfully one of the only things that makes us unique is that we are more evolved. Out intelligence is above those of the animals but our instincts are very similar. We are animals and we always will be.

To address your question Alatar, we as humans label it good and evil. As you said in the animal kingdom murder and rape occurs, but as humans label it as evil. In a way we are always going to be trying to lie to ourselves as a race saying that our instincts are evil. We also label some things that make us unique evil. Alfirin mentioned how sadism makes us different from animals. We label sadism as evil. We label what we dislike about our race as a whole evil.
