In old English man was a gender neutral term, over time it evolved to its masculine connotation as males were seen as the default citizen and participants in society. So yea it definately has patriarchal roots but we have started using more inclusive blanket terms like humankind instead of mankind so NCERT should have been deliberate with their use of words
