No, not the origin of where it came from millions of years ago. But the origins within a tank.
I mean, does the algae live in the water column just waiting for the right conditions to grow (similar to diseases)?
Algae is a form of plant right? But it doesn't seem to follow the rules like regular plants do. For example, I'm not going to get an Amazon Sword growing in my tank if the conditions are just right for it to grow unless I actually introduce the sword plant into the tank.
With algae though, if the conditions are right, it will grow like crazy without ever being officially introduced into the tank.
