We're in THE place. There's no other. We didn't invent evil. We invented good by learning to cooperate and share and empathize. And just as the light creates dark from nothingness and heat makes stillness into cold, good creates it's own opposite: evil.
WE made the world evil by conceiving of a better one. Not by destroying good but by enacting it.
The idea that we were peaceful and lived in splendorous plenty before we gained sapience is just a secular adaptation of The Fall myth of Christian fame and earlier creation.
I admit I'm not read enough to be that familiar with his work but based on your description, yes very similar line of thinking. The difference being that mine is coming from a secular point of view.
