Why use “his” in association with the word “mankind”?

The economist Keynes in a book wrote:




The power to become habituated to his surroundings is a marked characteristic of mankind.




I would have used "its" instead but since English is not my mother-tongue and Keynes was probably a good writer I am sure I am the one being mistaken.



Can anyone please explain ?

The use of 'his' refers to each 'member' of mankind. Mankind is generally referred to in this way, i.e. as a group of individual people, as opposed to a single, monolithic body, which would be suggested by using 'its'.

This is an old conundrum. English has no proper neutral pronoun to either a male or female person. It is usually used to refer to inanimate or not-human things.



You could say:




The power to become habituated to one's surroundings is a marked characteristic of mankind.




But the usage of one as a pronoun has come to sound a bit pretentious. I believe there is a shift occurring in english where their is being used in the singular and becoming acceptable.




The power to become habituated to their surroundings is a marked characteristic of mankind.




Some would take it a step further.




The power to become habituated to their surroundings is a marked characteristic of humans.




But that's somehow less poetic. Humans seems more clinical, and mankind more familial and grandiose somehow.

    This is an old conundrum. English has no proper neutral pronoun to either a male or female person. It is usually used to refer to inanimate or not-human things.



    You could say:




    The power to become habituated to one's surroundings is a marked characteristic of mankind.




    But the usage of one as a pronoun has come to sound a bit pretentious. I believe there is a shift occurring in english where their is being used in the singular and becoming acceptable.




    The power to become habituated to their surroundings is a marked characteristic of mankind.




    Some would take it a step further.




    The power to become habituated to their surroundings is a marked characteristic of humans.




    But that's somehow less poetic. Humans seems more clinical, and mankind more familial and grandiose somehow.
