So we know that the Na'vi are one of the species on Pandora that stand out among most, having a full head of hair, a nose to breathe out of, 4 limbs, and human-like features while almost every other animal has smooth skin, breathing holes on the chest, and 6 limbs. Well, what if the Na'vi aren't native to the planet?

In the book, All Tomorrows by C.M. Kosmen, a nomadic, godlike alien race called the Qu went around the universe, seeing how they saw fit. In the book, it was also confirmed that the Qu took a dinosaur from Earth and modified it to survive on an alien planet.

My theory is that the Qu traveled back to Earth and took a large number of early humans from across the planet and modified them to survive on Pandora (i.e.: height to combat predators, vibrant skin for camouflage, kuru to help them ride animals and reproduce, etc.). It would also explain why they respect nature religiously, live in different tribes, and have cultures, practices, tools, and languages similar to those of early humans.

Let me know what you think! ^^
