So, there's some lore bits of interest here.
Primals and dravanians often refer to the PC races as the "Sons of Man." This is a common construction across all of them and other "antiquated language" NPCs.
We know the Allagans were capable of genetic engineering (according to Fernehalwes, that's how Xande, Amon, and others got to be so huge), cloning, and hybridization. Azys Lla, the Aetherochemical Research Facility, and the Fractal Continuum all have Allagan experiments in them, and the Continuum actually talks about how Allag created artificial voidsent, the predecessor race that degenerated into the Ixal, and so on.
So with that in mind... my totally speculative idea is that the other races are the result of genetic experimentation and augmentation by Allag.
As for L'yhta? She doesn't think much of it. It's one of the blind spots in her perception of the world; much like how she takes tides as a given and doesn't look into the why or how, she does the same with the different races of Eorzea.
