Assigning copyright to all humanity would, theoretically, mean that everyone holds a copyright on the work and nobody requires anyone else's permission to create a derivative work. This is, effectively, just like the public domain where copyright power is dismissed.
Talking about assigning a copyright to "all humanity" doesn't really make sense because some people live in countries that don't recognize foreign copyright. Hence, they aren't restricted in the way that, say, Americans are restricted by American copyright.
