I understand where you are coming from, who's to say that we aren't the aliens? It's really a wildcard and no one answer is the right one, some
say we've evolved over time, god made us, blah blah or we could be from outer space? We'll never know.

Y'all seem to be forgetting that the aliens COULD HAVE PLANTED THE FOSSILS.

Now why would an ET race travel light years to plant fossils for a species that doesn't even exist yet to dig up thousands of years later ?
That makes less sense than the OPs opening question .
