Mankind
All people collectively
Mankind is the human race considered collectively—all people past, present, and future.
The term emphasizes humanity as a whole rather than individuals: one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Some find it sexist for using "man" as the root and prefer humankind or humanity.
Mankind tends toward elevated or formal contexts.
