Aristotle
The statement "Man is by nature a political animal" is attributed to the Greek philosopher Aristotle, who expressed this idea in his work "Politics." Aristotle believed that human beings are naturally inclined to live in organized communities and to engage in political activities to pursue a fulfilling life.
The early philosopher who argued that man is inherently evil was Thomas Hobbes. He believed that without authority and strict control, humans would act in a selfish and violent manner, leading to a state of perpetual conflict.
No because it is man that has defined evil. In nature there is no such thing as good or bad - the shark kills the seal because it is hungry, not because it is evil. Evil is a label man has created to fit something that does not correspond to accepted societal dictates.
Hobbes believed that humans are inherently self-interested and driven by a desire for power and survival. He thought humans were naturally in a state of conflict and chaos, leading to the need for a strong central authority to maintain order. Locke, on the other hand, believed that humans are born as blank slates, with the potential for reason and cooperation, and that they have natural rights to life, liberty, and property.
In some myths, man was a combination of the evil flesh of titans and the good heart of Dyonyousous

Man is composed of both good and evil, parts that can be physically separated.
because given the opportunity to do whatever they wanted to other people, most chose evil over good.
