means The whole of our species, considered as one collective — every human who has lived, is living, or will live.

from A straightforward compound of 'human' (from Latin humanus, itself linked to humus, 'earth' or 'ground' — the species of the soil, not the sky) plus 'kind,' an old Germanic word meaning family, race, or sort. 'Kind' shares a root with 'kin' — so humankind literally means something like 'the human family.' The word rose partly as a deliberately gender-neutral alternative to 'mankind,' though 'mankind' itself originally used 'man' in its old, broader sense of 'person' before the word narrowed to mean specifically a male human.
