I believe humans are basically neutral.

Dragonlich summed this one up pretty well. If you want to make humans seem good, you can take some of the uglier parts of humanity and argue that it's necessary or explain through good intentions. If you want to make humanity seem bad, you can argue that the good points in humanity are driven by greed and selfishness.
The problem is, good and bad are relative terms. Each person has a general perception of what is "good" or "bad." Asking people from various cultures will result in various responses.
My conclusion on this would be that we are neutral. We have good and we have bad. There tends to be a balance.
