The Origins of Human Beings

Many, many people have a founding origin legend that they come from the territory that they're currently in and have always been there. Unless you come from the same part of Africa where human beings anatomically correct human beings, first arose, you're a squatter on somebody else's property. There were no human beings in the area that your ancestors first arrived at and declared their homeland. That was unlikely, a modern ethnicity or a modern nation state can claim something like that.
