Sure. Otherwise the homo sapiens as a species wouldn't survive.

Though, I generally define "good" as "good for humankind" :).

The particular definition of good, though, would exclude any violence and coercion - and then, that's a social thing. If you mean "naturally" as "regardless of society" then your question is meaningless. With a single human, without others, the homo sapiens can't express its substance as zoon politikon, a social being, and there's no context in which the very idea of good can exist.
