I'd say, since humanity as a whole is pretty diverse, that we should just do different human societies instead of humanity as a whole.
Do we really need a history of humans?
If this is written poorly (and accepted) it will affect many other players directly, can you bear such a task properly? Like 'Humans can only do XXX.' and screw every other thing in the process.

Well, it's humans, so I imagine it'd be the least contested issue- they're boring as fuck in the realms of this kind of fantasy.
I don't imagine why limitations would affect anyone- the OP has at least implied things like magic exist, so I'd use common sense to leave that in to whatever degree. It's also why I put down the notice, in case anyone wanted to contribute or let me know something they wanted in a character (so go ahead if you want).

Well, since this IS a fantasy world, I was hoping to sum up original human migration and emergence, then focus on a specific group (e.g. where my character came from). Then everyone else could add to other groups if they wished, etc. etc.
It's not the least contested if 5/6 (pending or posted) of the player characters are currently Human or hybrids of Humans (yet have quite clearly varying degrees of distinction), like I agree with pathfinder - it would be much more considerate to the other players and conducive to world building if it was just the history of a single clan instead of the whole fucking race.
Sure the host said world building was a first come first served kind of deal, but it also said that our characters are our own and cannot be changed by others. While not directly changing, you could very potentially be building walls around the progression of others - especially since it affects such a majority. If it were between two or so players, fine, but this isn't just one or two. Also don't know what the fuck you're going to write so we can't exactly add to ensure the integrity of our characters until we know what the contents are.
You must be real fun at parties.
TL;DR - please take the human history out of PM's; I'd rather we develop them here.
