This may well be the explanation why Mark retains YTA. It's nonetheless clear
that while Mark anticipates his readership needing explanation of TALIQA
KOUM (5:41) and KORBAN (7:11), he makes no allowances for hO hYIOS TOU
ANQRWPOU as a near-foreign expression and assumes either that his
audience knows its significance going in or will pick it up as they go along
from
the YTA sayings themselves.

Joel Marcus's article that was referred to earlier in this post is quite a
good piece
and makes a strong case that the ANQRWPOS in the expression would have
been recognized as a reference to Adam, called hO ANQRWPOS in Gen 1-3
LXX.
