Yeah, Science does have scientific articles behind what I referred to in a simplified way as “human nature” - the entire domains of Psychology and Sociology deal with that and beyond that, even Behavioral Economics concerns itself with how Humans act though in a more restricted set of conditions.

Then there is History, which concerns itself with how Humans have acted in the past.

In fact “How humans act” seems to be a rather important subject for Humans which gets reflected in how quite a lot of Science being done about it.

Those being such massive domains I, you can find those articles you are clearly so interested in yourself, in places like arXiv.

I suggest you start by looking into Sociopathy, Psychopathy, Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Megalomania from the domain of Psychology.

Have fun!
