I still don't see nepotism with such a long gap in time and influence. Churchill hiring his Son-in-Law was nepotism, and Sir Robert somebody was so notorious that "Bob's your uncle" has drifted from its roots due to popularity.

The word "Mankind" is what should be used. "Personkind" and "humankind" are just silly. Well, they certainly sound silly, and they're just not needed anyway.

Didn't it later turn out that he said that this was just a joke, and that the woman he said it to recognised this?

Well he probably should not have interrupted, but if it was just meant as a joke I don't see what the big deal is.
