Perhaps they were in the world before the Ainur came into it.

But that couldn't be so...they couldn't be evil then. If all evil was caused by Melkor, then how could an evil thing exist before the Ainur?

Maybe Illuvatar has an evil streak to him. That would explain the rotten shape he left the insignificant humans in at the end of the 3rd age, while coddling the elves.
