Wondering why "human" is not in the KJV Bible, but that "man" is, I investigated. I was surprised to find that the word "man," itself, derives from the Hindu word "Manu" of Hindu mythology. According to which: "In some Hindu traditions, Manu is a title accorded to a progenitor of humanity. According to these traditions, the current time period is ruled by the seventh Manu called the Vaivasvata Manu, the son of Vivasvân and his wife Sanjnâ.[1]
Vaivasvata Manu, whose original name was Satyavrata, is the 7th Manu and considered the first king to rule this earth, who saved humanity from the great flood — after being warned of it by the Matsya avatar of Vishnu,[2] who had also advised him to build a giant boat. The story is mentioned in early Hindu scriptures such as the Satapatha Brahmana, and it has often been compared with the popular traditions of a Great Deluge from other cultures around the world,[3] particularly that of Noah's Ark." http://www.ask.com/wiki/Manu_(Hinduism)?qsrc=3044
This excerpt from Wikipedia really took me out! The Bible story of Noah is based upon the Hindu mythology of "Manu" which is also the source for the word "man" that comes down through various tongues to our English one, meaning any person.
"What manner of man is this," Mark 4:41, indeed; or we, indeed? A composite people, the same people, each borrowing from the other, continuously, it seems.
