Honestly I go with the Exo-galactic refugee hypothesis kinda like the Vong for the majority of humans but that there is also a native human population in the galaxy as well. Though the reason for humanity's supremacy in star wars has to do with the Pius Dea, which to summarize were basically when the Republic went full Imperium of Man and started purging xenos.
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.
The Great Catholic Betrayal is always relevant!
