We know that it was largely a dravanian country/continent during the time of Allag, based on what Tiamat talks to us about in Azys Lla. They came over in the 5th Umbral Era, yes, but they could have been there between the 3rd Astral and then, as opposed to being natives of Meracydia. I'm thinking of a situation where Allag constructed the miqo'te during the height of their power -- perhaps as something Allagan people did to themselves for augmentation, or perhaps to build a race of slaves -- and some of them were in Meracydia after it was conquered. When the Empire fell, they were the race that survived there (I'm thinking of the ground dwellers in Chrono Trigger, by analogue). Absent the Empire and other influences, they formed a culture and ultimately lost their history to the ravages of time.
Of course, that all falls apart if we have evidence that miqo'te were on Meracydia during the time of Allag. The implication I read in Azys Lla is that the continent was populated by dravanians only, but I may have missed something!
I've heard this theory before.
It wouldn't surprise me, but at the same time, I'm sure at some point we would have seen the progenitors of modern day Miqo'te somewhere on Azys Lla if this theory were true. Allag didn't really use its genetic alterations for much more than warfare and extending lives, and the Miqo'te are mortal and highly advanced considering.
