That's what I do WRT Sky-Earth too.  Granted there are SF elements like
that the Skylings/Finos came to the world they call _Ne'io'_ on a
shipwrecked spaceship long ago, meting primitive humans, but the setting is
essentially Fantasy, and I make no attempt to rationalize the presence of
humans, or other similarities and dissimilarities to our world.  That's
just the way that universe is.  As a matter of fact the Skylings of the
Wanic age have reverted to a stone-age technology, lost all accurate
understanding of their own past, and even believe they live on a flat disk
floating on water in a crystal bowl, and that the sky they see is the
bottom of the crystal bowl of the world from which they came!
