Humans are the race with the greatest echo in the warp.

First there was the Old Ones and their fight with the C'tan and the Necrons. At this time, the Warp was not very unsafe. The old ones created species that would fight the Necrons, the new influx of emotions making the Warp into the unstable realm of hell it is now.

But there were only a few races who had a major impact on the warp: The Humans, the Eldar and the Orks. The Eldar were extremely intelligent, and less driven to act on emotions, which lead them to not give such an echo in the warp. The Orks have only the will to fight in them. It is not anger, not really, they fight because they love to fight, and as such they were driven more by instinct than emotion.

Humans, however. We humans never acted without emotion. I believe what sowed the seeds were our early days, the times of the roman, persian and macedonian empire, leading to the deaths of billions, their tortured souls crying out in the warp. This could basically be the impregnation of the warp, so to speak.

Then came the dark ages, where hate, despair and violence reigned. Gone were the small tribal wars in which a battle rarely numbered over a 100, now there were battles of thousands fighting to claim what little unspoiled land remaind of the foe. And all this time, through all this battle, the humans, driven by their survival instinct (Unlike the Orks) cried out in their deaths at the loss of life. And so came the gods to be.

Or so I see it anyway :3
