that's just people trying to come up with some lame excuse for what they think they can't control (IE ADD, ADHD, and the vast majority of psychological issues). I'm not saying that these conditions don't exist i'm just saying that most people just use them to try to give an excuse for something they think they can't control.
Example, A child who does not like school, doesn't like the subjects in it, but likes sports, will not sit still in a classroom. he'd rather being outside playing sports. They call this ADD, because he can't sit still. When in fact its just him wanting to play sports.
If criminals have a gene that make them do such things then we truly can't persecute them. That'd be unfair. Like the gay community they were then born with it and its unfair and cruel of society to condemn them for it.
I agree with the original post and most after that. Evil is created by free will. The free will that God gave us so that we can truly understand love and truly love each other and him.
It doesn't matter who you are. Whether your a priest, Mother Mary, Billy Joe Bob, a baby, a drunk, a gay, a pastor...the fact is EVIL COMES FROM US...AND ONLY US..
I'm glad animals aren't evil...Maybe we should treat them better. Infact animals are probably too good FOR US..Since we are the evil ones.

From another point of view, cannibals hunt other humans for food, and categorized mostly by the community as evil... If the same judgement was implied to the animals, are they also not evil? of course both sides have the same reason, food... but does that eliminates the possibility of one being evil??
actually some animals are evil, gorillas for example kill spider monkeys and spider monkey babies and take special sadistic pleasure in it, they dont have to ofcourse but they eat em too, n they get kinda crazy when they wanna kill spider monkeys and start insanely jumpin around to tell the whole group to hunt spider monkeys, gorillas apes and chimpanzees actually rape female chimpanzees too when they r frustrated and sometimes kill em if the female puts up too much resistance. rhinos kill other rhinos who are not part of the group for females, food, and water{i got all this from the discovery channel}

You are either mistaken or amazingly misinformed. No apes kill spider monkeys because there are no apes in South America, and spider monkeys are "new world" primates and only live in South America. Gorillas do not kill or rape (unless they have psychologically snapped or are killing something that is threatening them). Gorillas are in fact exceedingly peaceful, more so than even gibbons or orangutans.
Chimps do rape and kill, as do humans and bottle-nosed dolphins. Notice the correlation there? The 3 of the supposedly most intelligent inhabitants on earth are the most likely to kill or rape for pleasure or out of anger or amusement.

This is called defense of territory and interspecies competition, it has nothing to do with malevolence or being evil.
Either the discovery channel is running some really misinforming crappy shows or you are not paying attention.
First of all to understand evil you have to forget about the god and the devil part, i could make a post the size of kentucky about that but thats besides the point here it has nothing to do with it.
Evil is basicly one of other primal instincts, and by god the best thing that ever happened to us. Along with everything good, as said before without evil there can be no good... So to quote Satan in Southpark
"Without evil there can be no good so it must be good to be evil somehow"
He's right when he says that, evil and good are basicly the same thing. Based from different perspectives and idea's. Most people today will say Hitler is bad, others will say he was the best. During his life many people thought he was doing good things, later on that oppinion changed and imo thats a good thing but others will disagree.
Most people that can actually think will say that the differences between races does not make one superior above the other, yet there are still people that say it does. Who is wrong and who is right? Biologicly speaking there are differences between races, but it hardly makes one better in something then another. Still things can be said that would challange such an oppinion, which is right which is wrong? All just an oppinion.
Evil itself is an oppinion. Evil was created when the first humam formed an oppinion that another did not agree with. Thats evil basicly a difference of oppinions

Race is a sociological construct with no basis in genetics. Moreover, there is more physiological diversity among members of a single "race" than there is between members of separate "races".
Evil is as idea that rests on Morality, Altriusm, Empathy, and
Conscience, along with a human aelf-awareness that enables
us to see these things as ideas andideals and not just forced
instincts.
Without a feeling of empathy or morality, or any of the other
values, no act would ever be considered "evil".
Similarly, one must be aware of one-self as a human being
with these values, in order to judge acts as evil, as opposed
to react to them.
Animals display and altruism as well, but it is doubtful that
they have the awareness of these displays as anything but
instincts, and not higher guiding values. Thus while they may
display pity over a randomly killed family member, they
probably don't judge the killer as "evil".

Race has no genetic basis. Not one characteristic, trait, or gene distinguishes all members of a so-called race from all members of another so-called race.
Human subspecies do not exist. Unlike many animals, modern humans have not been around long enough, nor have populations been isolated enough, to evolve into separate subspecies or races. Despite surface differences, we are among the most similar of all species.
Skin color is only skin deep. Most traits are inherited independently of one another. The genes for skin color have nothing to do with the genes for hair texture, eye shape, blood type, etc.
Most variation is within, not between "races". Of the small amount of total human genetic variation, 85% exists within any local population, be they Italians, Kurds, Koreans, or Cherokees. Two random Koreans are likely to be as genetically different as a Korean and an Italian.

Thus the word "probably".Besides, very often when you judge something as "Evil", you
may also want to end it. And I don't see animals going out
on missions to eradicate the "evils" that have befallen them
of their family members.
😆
Good thing too..Or they would have a holy jihad!
Besides there ARE only 2 emotions...
Fear and Love...All others are derived from these.
