Not really. Our entire biology and fossil history fits with the diversity of life in Earth.
As multicellular, deuterostome, bilateral, chordate vertebrates, osteichthyans, sarcoptergyians, tetrapods, synapsids, mammals, eutherians, primates, cercopithicoids, hominoids and hominids we have an entire branching and interlinked family history with all of the other life that shares our planet.
For any of that to make sense, that shared history would also have to be extraterrestrial, making the introduction billions of years ago at the very beginning of cellular life, and as such just adds more questions without actually answering anything.
