One that far back in pre-history fractured, lost contact and lost it's high technology for some reason. Being forced to start again separately the humans of Earth in the main took the technological path, but on their world The People took the magical one. Anyway it's a thought, and one possible explanation. :o)

The only way that this can work would be if other aliens scooped up the ancestors of the People from dropped those humans an alien world, where they became the people.

Hi there.
Yes, of course we evolved here, I am not a Creationist suggesting some Deity deliberately made the two sets of humans so similar by 'intelligent design', nor an advocate of a Chariot of the Gods alien intervention. However, you have to work with what fictional 'facts' you are given within the context of a story if one wants to explain such an odd occurence and in The People stories the 'Alien Humans' are precisely that, not just identical to us on a gross visual level, but right down to their genetics being close enough to actually interbreed with Earth Humans.

Other than them being, as I said, an impossibly close example of 'parallel evolution', then some connection between the two races must exist. My suggestions were simply some scenarios to illustrate how such a connection might be possible. Another might be that Earth indeed was the planet where the ancestors of both human races evolved and that in some way and for some unknown reason in the distant past, perhaps as you yourself suggested, a population of them were transported to The People's world, the planet they simply named The Home.

Many Blessings.
John, (Oriondruid).
