humanity
Humanity is the human race, which includes everyone
on Earth. It’s also a word for the qualities that make us
human, such as the ability to love and have compassion,
be creative, and not be a robot or alien.
The word humanity is from the Latin humanitas for
"human nature, kindness.” Humanity includes all the
humans, but it can also refer to the kind feelings humans
often have for each other. But when you talk about
humanity, you could just be talking about people as a
whole. When people do bad things, it tests your faith in
humanity. When people ask for money to help feed
starving children, they're appealing to your sense of
humanity.

humankind
Definitions of humankind
mankind
Mankind is every single human being — all of us. The
discovery of cures for diseases benefits all of mankind,
while global warming is not so kind to mankind.
The entire human species can be referred to in one
simple word with mankind. Pollution is something that
harms mankind across the globe, and disasters like war
and famine have affected mankind all through our
history. If you think your dad's brownies are the very
best in the entire world, you could exaggerate a little
and say, "They're the most delicious thing known
to mankind." In its Old English origin, man is gender-
neutral, meaning simply "person."
