Neutral nouns?

Hello teachers,

Considering the use of neutral nouns such as "human race" instead of "mankind" and "workforce" instead of "manpower," would you consider changing "man-made errors" or "man-made disaster" to "human-made errors" or "human-made disasters?" Any explanation will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
