Science makes discoveries ... and the list would be interminable. The underlying question is: what use do we make of these discoveries? In some cases, it's a political issue - look at the huge number of scientists concerned with developing the atomic bomb who begged Truman not to actually use it to destroy cities. (Why were they developing the bomb in the first place? because they thought that Hitler had much of the necessary knowledge and wouldn't have been so conscientious about how he used it). In other cases where you could say that the findings of science may have been misused, it'll be either because they haven't yet extended their research - DDT did a brilliant job of eliminating malaria, saving milionsof lives, and only later did people like Rachel Carson point out the collateral damage. And there are commercial players involved now - so that many genetically modified agricultural products that have been bred to be disease-resistant have also got an added twist that means that the farmers have to buy new supplies each year.

So one could re-phrase your question as 'has wisdom done more harm than good for humanity?' because it's the same concept under different language.

But I would add one more thing about the way science has done us good: it has actually given us the capacity to think like scientists - the hypothetico-deductive method, Occam's razor, Karl Popper's brilliant insight that science progresses by falsifying hypotheses in search of a better one. Without these essential tools for thinking and discovery, we would be vulnerable to any charlatan with a good story to tell - even if it can't be proved. Science is not just a series of discoveries; it is a superordinate process and a glorious manifestation of our humanity.
