Home World Theory

The Home World theory is an idea that has been built on by many minds over the millenia from the Divine Freya'Yyu to modern day historians. At it's base, the home world theory posits that the numerous and spread out human species are in fact colonies that originate from one world that saw some catastrophic event that forced humanity into space. From there, the various groups split up and settled various systems throughout the galaxy.
This theory is widely accepted by most scientific institutions, human and otherwise. Where in the universe the supposed human home world lay, as well as the catastrophic event that caused them to flee are all hotly debated and with each new group of humans to be discovered the mystery only grows.

Purpose

The home world theory's main purpose was to explain the reason for why so many systems had been settled by humans who thought both that they were a single species and who also had no awareness of the other human settled systems in the galaxy.

Historical Details

Background

While the idea had been played at for centuries, it was only when Inovan scientist Xiaxsasa ILMTGH wrote her book - The Origin of Humanity: Home World - that the theory took on the official name. To this day, Xiaxsasa's work is the foremost authority on the matter.

History

The home world theory as we know it today was posited shortly after the discovery of the Cressida who both formed The Basilica and had the original text of the Neruse. Attention was drawn to the mythos and religions shared across most human systems - still refered to as SBAN's (Swahadans by another name) at the time. The Cressida, the largest human group to be discoered to date referred to themselves as humans, citing a common ancestor in their histories from a time that dated long before any other human records and from then on, most SBAN's were then called human.

Public Reaction

Majority of human governments after reading Xiaxsasa's work readily accepted it as the most likely reason for their wide-spread shared history, but few human groups rejected the theory, chief among them the Thaila.
This theory also incited an 'us against them' mentality among humans and non-humans alike. Certain groups like the Swahada and the Cressida were unaffected, but smaller human groups such as the Sinclair are oftentimes discriminated against in most non-human circles.
