I'm curious actually: what's more appropriate to say in such statements: species or race, or something else entirely? I'm guessing It's would be species, but I'm not an expert on biology.

FYI, "human race" has idiomatic usage in english.

Be proud of your race when it solves corruption, poverty and inequalities... You can do something about it, be proud of it and at the same time watch rockets fly http://www.watsi.org

I'm not sure if OP was making a racist statement of meant "the human race", but completely independent of that and in response to your statement:

Any technological venture is helping to solve poverty in the long run. Even if the venture does nothing to help inequality, the new technology is almost guaranteed to raise society's collective standard of living.
