...think that humans are the only one's with the potential for evil?
I would think other kinds of Life out there are just like us. With Free Will, and diverse within the same culture. With Holy people, governors, military for protection from outside invading influences, workers, and the criminal element.

What?
Evil is a human concept. What we consider evil may not be to other forms of life. Moreover, there is no free will, only an illusion of free will.

First let me make it clear that it has not been proved as yet that there are any other life forms which are equal to or superior than the human race in intelligence. So the basic premise of your question is unsustainable. Evil can take many different connotations. A deadly snake bite may be considered as evil equal in intensity to that of a gun shot from a human being. But the snake bites for its self defence or any other behavioural cause which can be explained by naturalists. Humans on the other hand shoot to kill another human being or animal. Hence the latter is decidedly evil whereas the former is not. Finally we don't have any definitive proof of any super intelligent extra terresterial life form.

It's completely base less argument to say humans are only intellegent because animals also proving them selves .Sniffer dogs activity which cannot be even performed by Intellegent humans.

One need only look a tthe Chimp studies in Africa to see that they have banded together to hunt down splinter groups & kill all the males. Chimps go to war -- just like people.
