Thales of Miletus is considered to be the father of western philosophy.
He actually lived in Turkey, which is really the Near East and part of the Asian continent, and Miletus was ruled by the Greeks, at the time.
His family were Assyrian immigrants that were fleeing from an empire that had actually collapsed partly due to climate change.
The Greeks chose to welcome immigrants, who brought ideas, poetry, music, technology, writing, and trade.
The western world was built by immigrants.
