Yes, after going back and reading the PDAs over and grabbing something I missed in the thermal plant I realize I made a mistake about the evolutionary process. It is actually mentioned very few species survived the release of the virus on 4546b and those that did had to rapidly adapt to survive. This doesn't change my hypothesis about the precursors themselves all that much. While the virus is the clear focus of their research facilities, the fact that they were already meddling in Earth affairs before the extinction event on 4546b still enourages me to believe 4546b was a research location for our corner of the universe long before the virus destroyed them.

The extinction event takes place roughly 1,000 years prior to the Aurora crash. The Earth Blade comes from the 13th century, and the current timeline is in the late 22nd century. The virus containment breach on 4546b could have signaled the end of any Earth-based research or observation for the precursors in this region of space.
