Very simply, "all humanity" was far too spread out and well beyond the
Eastern Hemisphere 2000 years ago. My father's Hopi ancestors, for
example, were nowhere near any European or Asian people 2000 years ago
but were exactly where he was born in north-central Arizona and the
immediately adjacent areas in present-day Utah, New Mexico, Colorado
and southern Nevada.
Be careful when you throw around such enormous concepts as "all
humanity". Bronwen
