Allagans look like Hyurs right? At least they use the hyur model ingame.Â
We also know that the Hyur came to Eorzea very recently compared to the other races... Which is, way after the Empire of Allag.Â
Are Allagans really hyurs then? Or something else? Or is there a twist somewhere that makes Allag a hyur civilization that rose up in their original place of origin, spreaded all across the planet including Aldenard, and then crumbled, leaving their hyur offspring only in a certain remote place (not Aldernard)?
The Allagan clones we've seen look decidedly Hyur-ish, yes. But we don't really have anything else to go on.
Garleans claim to be the descendants of the Allags, and they also look like Hyurs (that are taller, basically all platinum blond, and have three eyes).
The biggest thing here is that the "history" of when the races came to Aldenard is simply what's taught to people. They have about as much proof as we do as normal players of the game. The Mhachi and Amdaporean zombies we fight in AM HM are all "Hyur"-looking as well. The only thing that's realy been established is that the game tells us the Hyur are the most populant race, and that the last really big batch of them came o Eorzea the most recently.
But also take it this way. The Elezen claim they lived in Eorzea before any other race. But there were civilizations that lived on the land -way- before they ever arrived too. As SE has said in Dev/Lore panels before, we can't really trust the NPCs. They only know what they know, but they might not know the facts. See: Drowned Wench vs Naga claims.

Personally, something tells me the Allagans were probably the ancestors of modern Hyur and Garleans. With their technology, they probably spread about the planet. When stuff blew up, maybe it wiped out all the ones on Aldenard. Maybe what was left then genetically engineered their offspring to be unable to cast magic? Maybe some of them didn't like that and went elsewhere? Each modern Hyur and Garleans speculation.
