So, this episode was in canon when All Good Things was written. Q goes through this whole speech about how the anomaly caused by Picard in the future stops life from forming on Earth, thus humans never exist. "You, in several million years." he says.

How does that interact with the "everyone is seeded from a common ancestor" plot?

    Maybe it was the common ancestor that was directly stopped from existing and then by extension the other races

    Or it's a plot hole

    Well...how about this:

    the race of Beforeians seeded inhabited worlds. So the entire biosphere happened on its own from cyanobacteria up to wooly mammoths and shit, and then the beforeians seed the planet with hominids.

    If life didn't evolve on Earth, the Beforeians wouldn't have seeded it. Just like they didn't seed Mars or Venus.
