Lorne has said before that there are not and never will be any connection between planets Earth and Oddworld.
And I would hate to see any sort of humans on ow. The whole subtly of the Quintology was that we sympathised with characters who looked alien but who's plight was familiar.
I think we can safely say that this move towards more humanoid characters is 100% a marketing decision.
