earthborn
From the ground
Earthborn means originating from or born on Earth.
The term appears most often in science fiction and fantasy, where it distinguishes humans or creatures native to Earth from those of other worlds or supernatural origin: The earthborn colonists struggled to adapt to Martian gravity.
In older literary usage, earthborn could mean mortal or of humble origin, contrasted with the divine or heavenly.
