It has been believed to find its origin in Genesis 1:28 where it was recorded. God establishes a general grant of dominion to all mankind and can lawfully do so because He owns all the earth.

Explanation:

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
