ありがとうございました。日本語にすると二通りの解釈ができます。出身地を尋ねる場合と出発地点を尋ねる場合、よく違いがわかりました。

"Where are you from?" always implies a physical point of origin, most always your hometown or country.
"Where did [X] come from?" can be literal, or more abstract, depending on the subject, X.
Literal:
"Where did you come from?" = "What was your previous location?"
Abstract:
"Where did we come from?" = "Where did we, the human race, come from?" = "What is the origin of our species?"
