All possible ambiguity would be removed if you >used "person" in place of "man". "Man" is used correctly here. "Person" would NOT have been correct.

"Homo sapiens" would have been correct and not at all ambiguous, but I suppose you would argue that because it translates to "wise man" it too would have been confusing.
