Humans born in the Milky Way are humans. Regardless of which Milky Way system they are born in.

Those that will be born in Andromeda? They will be humans.

Likewise for the other non-human species with us. They will not be Andromedans; but Salarian, Krogan, Asari, etc.

Being in another physical location means nothing, other than that you are in another location.

Earth will always be our species' home.

Yeah, no, I have to disagree or, at the very least, argue that Andromeda-born humans would differ in how they thought and felt about Earth. 

I know this is somewhat cheating when it comes to discussions but I'm going to relay a tiny bit of my personal background here to provide one such perspective that there'd be: see, my father and his father immigrated to the country in which I was born. That country is my home in heart and mind. I was not only born here, I was raised here. It is where I grew up and where so many of my experiences with life lies.

 In the city where I was born, I am never lost because I remember every part of it and I can find my way without a map or looking at signs.

In this city is the home of my grandfather that I visited so often and the hospice where he died. When I walk by either of those places, I remember those times and feel certain things.  

In this country, I've experienced road trips to beaches as a child and as an adult, I feel certain things when I see those beaches be they good or bad.

This is the country in which I was born and raised. This is the country in which the best and hardest times of my life so far happened. This is the country in which I have my life. This is the country where I have my heart and mind. This is my home. It will never be just another location to me.  

My father and grandfather might tell me stories of the country in which they were born and the respective things  they experienced growing up in their country but the thing is that while I find it interesting to hear about, I don't feel a connection to that country. It is just another location in the world that has a note attached to it in my mind that says this is where my paternal family is from.

Tl:DR: For, at least, a fair number of Andromeda-born humans, Earth is going to be just another location in far away space. It may be where their family was originally from but although they might hear stories of life there and learn about it's importance in the history of their race, they won't feel strongly about the planet. It is the point of origin for their race and it is the setting of historical events but it's not their home and it is not the setting of their lives.

Note: I feel I should note that my father, grandfather and grandmother weren't fleeing anything, they weren't poor and the country wasn't in some state that made it dangerous so this is not a case of me feeling disassociated from the country because of some negative connotations.
