Mankind - How to teach this noun.

I have to use a specific quiz in one of the textbooks for my lesson. One of the words there is mankind (as in what what Neil Armstrong doing when he said.....................etc). Other than showing them a picture to put into context the meaning (which then gives the answer) I am stuck for ideas. The group is low intermediate level so I can't elicit the word from them. Humanity is the synonyms I thought of but doubt they would know that either.

Any ideas?

Thanks Clive. I had come to the same conclusion after using a child's Thesaurus. Its always good to have a second opinion.

Thank you for your ideas and coments. I have to teach lots of things within a short lesson whilst trying to keep it simple. so although I agree with the things you have said, I believe they might confuse the students or stop me achieving the lesson aims. Thank you for your imput it great to get lots of different ideas.
