People do those things because it is advantageous for them to do so. People think that they deserve a break just as much as anyone else, and so they create their own opportunities (or seize them when they arise).
People also lie and steal because, honestly, sometimes they feel backed into a corner and that they have few options.

Also, while depending on your definition, we may be the only living beings capable of lying, but we certainly arent the only ones capable of being decietful:
Some birds lay their egg in another birds nest, and when the invader chick hatches, it kills the other one.
Lots of animals steal other's food.
Some primates (chimps I know, and possibly orangutans) will try to hide things from their keepers.
Studies have shown that dogs recognize that we cant tell what theyre doing while our eyes are closed.

That's just a small list, but I'm sure there's more.
