      In the context of prehistory it’s to my knowledge taken to be short for mankind and feck all else. I agree its ambiguous in the modern age which is likely why it’s dieing out. Science doesn’t like ambiguous wordage

      In history where we have names and context I absolutely agree and it is good to see the important women in history finally getting brought to the forefront
