Every population that has ever roamed the earth has expanded to the limits of the environment round it, has fought off other species, and killed off the weak, the spent and the neighbours for the good of the local tribe/flock/herd/collective noun for dinosaurs.
Why would humans be any different?
Why should we?
I don't mean as individuals, that's easy to answer, but as populations.
Indeed, that's how natural selection has worked for millenia. We're not saving the world, we're saving ourselves and what we value, the world we want to live in, which is no less selfish.

As populations we can't even resolve the Israel/Palestine situation. Whatever we consider ourselves to be, as a species we're remarkably similar to any other organism; a mindless quest to dominate.
