Hey there!
I'll try to explain the difference to you:
1) Mankind = this word equals to ''all of the living human inhabitants of the earth'' = human beings collectively without reference to sex (it means, in brief, the human race).
Example: ''Will there be mercy upon mankind?''
2) Humanity = the condition or quality of being human.
Example: ''His speech showed great humanity!''
3) Human being = equals to ''a human'', a person.
Example: ''We are all human beings!''
Hope that helps!
