It could be argued that altruism loads on survival in some ways. But yes, violence, greed, corruption certainly seems to lead the list of long term human survival skills.

As a species, it appears that we have raised the rates of literacy, health, rights of minorities. A big change in my lifetime are civil rights for women, non-whites, and LGBTQ.
