Well there's no reason both theories can't be true, Tattoine being the first major colony of the exo-galactic humanity and such. Or just convergent evolution, it's not like Star Wars actually cares about scientific details.

I wasn't aware of the human supremacy era of the Republic. That's a wild bit of history to casually drop as background details in a book about Darth Plagueis. I guess it explains where Palpatine got his idea of humanocentrism as a control mechanism from though.

It makes sense that a lot of lore is just kinda dropped, you aint gonna be making references to the 4th crusade unless it comes up vaguely.
