That could definitely be debated, as from what I understand the Allagan rise and fall seems to be in the Third Era, while the Miqo'te migration happened in the Fifth. Which honestly lends some credence to the Allagan creation idea, being that they may have been placed in Meracydia during the invasion.
Personally I'm curious if it could be taken a step further and speculated that the general diversity in the "races of man" is due entirely to Allagan meddling. I can't find much evidence for it, but it's a niggling idea that's been stuck in the back of my head for a while now.
