I just looked at the Vulgate rendering, and you are correct. In Genesis, the word "homo" is not there, but the context of the passage is clearly understood that God is talked to Adam (a.k.a. man, mankind). The word "homo" is inserted in the actual liturgical formula for the distribution of ashes, since the verse is taken out of its "context" so to speak. In any case, the gender-neutralizers (feminists) conveniently add and delete words from the actual liturgical formulae based on their personal whims.
