So sarcasm would exist but not the way we understand it, does it mean that sarcasm is an intrinsic part of human nature?

    A basic building block to humor is a subversion of expectations. Sarcasm is just stating things as the opposite of the intended meaning. Sarcasm is, in essence, the base level that most humor is built upon, and because of that is looked down on because it is "easy mode."
