The English word man (from Proto-Germanic mannaz "man, person") and words derived from it can designate any or even all of the human race regardless of their gender or age. This is indeed the oldest usage of man in English. This derives from a Proto-Indo-European root *man- or mon- meaning "man". Cognates from outside the Germanic languages include Sanskrit Manu and Russian муж (muž) meaning "man" or "husband".[1]
Restricted use in the sense "adult male" only began to occur in late Old English, around 1000 AD, and the word formerly expressing male sex, wer had died out by 1300 (but survives in e.g. were-wolf and were-gild). The original sense of the word is preserved in mankind, from Old English mancynn.
In Old English the words wer and wīf (also wǣpmann and wīfmann) were used to refer to "a man" and "a woman" respectively, while mann was gender neutral. In Middle English man displaced wer as term for "male human," whilst wyfman (which eventually evolved into woman) was retained for "female human". Man does continue to carry its original sense of "human" however, resulting in an asymmetry sometimes criticized as sexist. [2]
The Mars symbol is the symbol of Men and that of Mars.The Mars symbol (Unicode: ♂), sign of the planet Mars, and of the Roman god Mars and Greek god Ares, is also the symbol used in biology for the male gender. It is the alchemic symbol for iron and is a sign of masculinity. The sign is interpreted as the spear and shield from the war god Mars/Ares.

Yes, everyone here is... We are 'mankind' if we are all together... ^_^
But if you are referring to men or women, then most probably half of us are not men...
