"do unto others before they do unto you"

Are humans bad?

Are we really no different than the people who schemed, murdered, tortured and were preyed upon by the powers that were in the medieval era? No and Yes.

Yes, we carry the same evolutionary baggage today that we needed to survive not only in the medieval era but going all the way back two million years. Most of the stuff we frown upon today, like sloth and gluttony (shirking and greed) is still solidly embedded in each and every human.

No, the really bad stuff, like wanting to murder the cretin who deliberately boosts the noise coming out of a motor vehicle because it sounds so nice and wants to share it with the rest of us, has been tempered by a civilizing process (culture) so that large numbers of humans can actually live together in relative security.
