A "man" is specifically an adult male. A "human" or "human being" is any person.
(People sometimes used to use "man" to refer to the entire human species, but this is rarely done any more, because it is seen as sexist.)

Man = 男
Human = 人間
Human being = synonym for Human
Sometimes "Man" is used to talk about the Human Race, but that is rare, and only happens in formal context.
