we are no different to the rest of the animals. every animal is bred to try to gain an advantage in the world, despite the cost to the surrounding environment...
Usually the surrounding environment is in the same "arms race", so no one species grabs a huge advantage, or if they do, they end up destroying things, and wiping themselves out (dinosaurs anyone?)... we did, by some twist of fate grab that advantage moreso than any other species.
the "autrocities" that humans do unto other humans is no more extreme than that of other animals. lions kill entire litters of lion cubs just because they aren't his children, ants deliberately sabotage parts of the nest to usurp the queen, etc.
