just a thought...

Harlans race was over 11,000 years old. Thats older than what we know of when the goulds spread the human race around the galaxy which was 10,000 years ago. Their race are called the Altairans, is it possible that they are some form of ancient, retaining their original name of the Alterans?

I suppose anything is possbile...but Harlen's race seemed a little less advianced as the Ancients

Most probably a coincidence on the writer's behalf, but I suppose it fits.

I really should know this, but who's Harlan?

the last of the altarians, been patching up his little home for 11,000 years its from Tin Man in season 1

He was in double jeapordy as well.

Interesting theory perhaps some sort of name change over time. (or it's just a coincidence)
