        A term which refers to all of the members of humanity, but is now politically incorrect to say. This is due to the fact that people misunderstand the origin of the term man, and rather than understanding the etymology of the word they immediately associate it with male dominance.

        In old English, males were called werman and females wyfman. Man was gender neutral, and has been in use in our language to describe people, in general, since that time.

        Despite criticism, it is not incorrect to use mankind in writing.

          Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: Mankind. Basically, it's made up of two separate words - mank and ind. What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
