Just a thought I had but may old some water

Other than the humans there are 5 main races in fhe one piece world

Giants
Fishman
Sky people
Tontta's
Minks

There are more but I'd say these 5 are the most prevalent in the story with (Buccanners, Lunarians, 3 eyed) on the verge of extinction

And the long limb people just being extra jointed humans


What if the 5 main races at some point long before joy boy where actually human and they evolved

Giants- currently many factions had been working on Gigantification to artificially make Giants, is it possible someone long ago did this and create an entire nation of Giants, or the original Nika used his power to turn them into Giants?

Fishmen- Vegapunk says the world will flood, and the fact old wano is deep underwater tells us it has flooded at least once before, but what if it flooded before that and a group of humans of that type after hundreds maybe thousands of years evolved to live easier in the water world they found themselves in they grew fish like features

Skypeople- What if long ago it was normal for Lunarians to get freaaaky with humans and it gave birth to the people of the sky, they heard the world was flooding and flew to the clouds to avoid it, never knowing the Lunarians they're mothers and fathers once mingled with had been wiped out

Tontta's- maybe in the past greenbit had low oxygen levels causing them not to grow as big, much like irl the reason animals where so massive in ancient times was because of the extremely high oxygen levels compared to today, it's the same reason fish in an ocean can get as big as a car depending on the species while fish in captivity would never get any bigger than a toddler unless you have an extra big tank

Minks- at some point Zunesha committed a crime, and was forced to walk but it was never said where the Minks came from or how they wound up on his back, could it be humans that over the years gained animal like qualities, or is it animals that gained human likes qualities? Either way at some point they wound up on his back and evolved into what we see today

TLDR: most of the other races we see are evolved versions of humans

Maybe they evolved naturally or they were created by the scientists of the ancient kingdom.

I generally agree that plot wise the variations of human races most likely evolved over time after the flooding (though, from evolutionary perspective way too quickly).

The Japanese are also kinda puristic which would align with the fact that in Oda's One Piece regular humans nevertheless keep to represent the peak of humanity in terms of strength, leadership, haki and morality.

That's not how it is tho? Strength wise the fishmen were introduced as much stronger than humans, so are the giants obviously, the minks are much faster and are famous for their loyalty, the 3 eyed have the voice of all things aka an ability akin to Haki and the Lunarians are literal gods (ability wise). Did I forget a group? And to say that humans, among whom the gorosei treat other races as slaves and oppressing the whole planet, have superior morality is a gigantic stretch.

They're likely all genetically engineered humans created for specific habitats.

Ancient Kingdom created DFs and all the other human races. Judge's work is proof of this.

I think Oda might be inspired by a anime called Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water. I found this out from a Japanese tuber 小雅哥.

Basically Atlantis come to Earth with Red Noah and Nautilus, they created new species for labor purpose. Then they slowly refine these species to look like Atlantian themselves.

People from the moon comes to Earth by Uranus sort of resembles them.

So I think they do have creation and evolution in mixed.

Also they Red Noah might be the inspiration of Uranus and Nautilus the inspiration to Pluton. The bad guys (Gargoyle) uses the Red Noah to fight good guys who has Nautilus (Battle Ships). Just pure speculation, Imu now has Uranus, Blackbeard might get Pluton, Luffy might construct a new battleship to fight them with the help of Lilith.

The Explanation:

Battle between Red Noah and Nautilus:
