I'm surprised that no one has bothered with the simplest of philosophical questions.

Is Mankind basically good or bad?

As far as I can see life is selfish, life wants to live and will do what it needs to do in order to ensure it's survival. Given Maslow's Heirarchy of needs, it's easy to show that man does what he needs in order to fulfill the lowest levels of those needs.
