Based on Google News results, all but three major news sites used some variation of "human" or "people" to report this. Those that didn't?
BBC & The Guardian used "man" (now altered)... and GB news used "cavemen" (I'd bet deliberately)

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for putting restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.
He did not declare that Reform had just received £9 million from one of its biggest investors

Moment Israeli forces shoot dead surrendered Palestinians – video report
Video of an Israeli military raid in the West Bank shows soldiers summarily executing two Palestinians they had detained seconds earlier.
The shooting on Thursday evening, which was also witnessed by journalists close to the scene, is under review by the justice ministry, but has already been defended by Israel’s far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who said 'terrorists must die'.

The (obvious in advance) limits of the government's strategy since it took office: a budget in which the majority of individual items poll well, yet people think it is the most unfair budget since YouGov started polling on this question.
