Colin, you need to do some research about where the title Family of Man 
came from. A quick search on google.com will give you all the 
information you need. The original project had everything to do with 
human beings, thus: The Family of Man.

Pablo was quite eloquent in his defense for keeping humans in the Family 
of Man, as the original intended.

Steichen must be rolling in his grave....
