Is Yemen where the majority of Arabs come from?

All Arabs are originally from Yemen and it's known for all Arabs that "Arab's origin is Yemen" but if you mean that most Arab people are Yemenis! no they're not. The previous answer is incorrect. In Pre-Islamic Times, when the Arabs were only found in the Arabian Peninsula, Arabs were quite evenly distributed across what is now Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. (Understandably, they would be concentrated in cities and along the coast, but the percentage of Arabs in these areas was nearly identical). With the Rise of Islam, Arabs have expanded outward from the Arabian Peninsula and are now endemic in many other countries. So, no, most Arabs did not come from Yemen and today most Arabs certainly do not come from Yemen.
