When will we evolve beyond the selfishness of capitalism?

We won't, humans will be extinct in about 100 years, and within a few million years other life on earth that survives will develop sentience, enough to develop and learn about human history as we will leave all sorts of evidence behind, this will make them live more sustainably.
it may not even take millions of years, with humans out of the way other animals may adapt fairly quickly.

Both of that is unlikely. Climate change won't hit all places with the same impact. There are places on earth were pockets of humanity will survive, and since it's just a few, they won't be able to further influence climate like they did. the planet will eventually likely fall back to the old equilibrium points or find another higher one, and eventually adapted humans will spread out from their pockets just like they did it the last time. There's nothing even remotely as adaptable among the higher life forms as we are. We will come back in a few hundred or thousand years no problem, and we might even still have legends reminding us what not to do. Hopefully. Maybe. But for now homo sapiens is without doubt *the* global keystone species, will remain so for as long as it exists and is likely to be biological ancestor to whatever eventually replaces it.
