The implications of human nature.

Alright, so, hypothetically speaking, say mankind had finally discovered the overall nature of humanity. I want to know what implications or changes that might cause, because in reality, all one has found out one's nature. Ones still does not know whether it would be ethically good or bad to follow them. For example, some may say it is withing human nature to kill, or that men are born sinners, does that mean that one may accept this fact and embrace it even? Or should one reject one's own  nature and fight against it.
 Our study of human nature might lead us to deeper understanding of ourselves, but that will simply give us knowledge. My question is, How will knowledge of human nature change a person ethically, personally, and socially?
