Was Kainans peaple human?


Was it like Battlestar Gallactica in the sense that Earth was a forgotten outpost of Kainans people that regressed to primitive times or were they aliens?

His computer knew about all about Earth and described it as an Abandoned Seed Colony. So it certainly wasn't forgotten.

Probably because after they got here they found out that Earth already had a dominant and aggressive indigenous species;

Bloody Cats....

You're overthinking this. I doubt the film makers gave it that much thought...
