I can't help but imagine that the second theory would have, if actually happened, contributed to a higher-than-normal breeding opportunity for the one capable of warping. After all, if an organism can move around without bothering with the space in the middle of its journey, it's capable of reaching a far higher quantity of mates on a planet, presumably, covered in its species since the whole damned thing is covered in water.

Assuming that there were, indeed, many of the precursor race to the Warper around the planet, being able to move around at an extremely rapid rate would be an intense evolutionary advantage, not to mention the sheer defensive and offensive capabilities that it would grant them, being capable of tearing holes in reality to either escape or bring something more dangerous through after their pursuer.

After all, the longer you go without dying, the more offspring you have the chance to produce. Being able to teleport is kinda the top tier of survivability, especially if the predator species in the situation did not have teleportation or portal-creation abilities.

As for how it's scientifically possible, we can't possibly know until we discover a proper way to tunnel through from one location to another while disregarding the current Euclidean structural system we are naturally capable of building and moving within. However, just because we can't figure out a way to do it right now doesn't mean it's not possible. If that were true, you wouldn't be reading this message because the internet would've never been invented because we'd have never managed any tools and would've died out.

Reality is not defined by human technology. It simply is, and it's up to us to create technology that allows us to leverage its capabilities.
