The Range of human nature is equal to the range of human imagination. Anything you as an individual human can imagine is well within the range.

Being inhumane is almost exclusively the realm of humans, so yes; it can be within human nature to be inhumane.

human nature doesn’t dictate what is humane. Humane morals that we are taught to function as a society dictate that. I’m sure there are vegans that legit think people are monsters for eating meat. If we were all taught for the last 5000 years eating meat was wrong and a random person murders an animal and eats it, pretty sure we would all consider it an atrocity like we would if it was done to person and not a chicken.

There is no definitive “human nature”, so I would say it is in some individuals nature to be inhumane.

You’re probably just getting hung up on the root word behind humane and inhumane. Humans do inhumane and humane things constantly every day, regardless of whether they do those things directly to a human or not, under the right brain chemistry and external conditions we’re capable of it all, good and bad.

I’d put every characteristic in big air quotes. Especially ‘human nature’. There’s too much relative variables to conclude any result.

I’d say of what people usually call humane acts, many of them include some attention, sacrifice or effort ‘to make things right’.

If that’s not the norm across us, humans, I guess it’s not a ‘human nature’.

I think the terms you’re looking for are narcissism and empathy. Narcissism is the inhumanity, empathy the humanity. Can a narcissist have empathy, and vise versa? I can’t say I’ve ever heard of an empathist, having too much empathy.

i think the piece youre missing is that humans uniquely (and theoretically) have a choice that other animals do not. we do not have to be the animal… the instinct… we can choose the humanity. not that we always do, we often act inhumane, but at least we have the option.
