What If Aliens Are Future Versions of Humans?

What if you found out that you had a long-lost relative? And what if that long-lost relative was from a different planet in our galaxy? 


And what if this faraway planet was home to billions of humans, just like Earth? 

But these "humans" don't look anything like us. Because they're from the future. Could aliens be future versions of humans? How far ahead of us would they be?

How much would they have evolved? 
Would we be able to understand each other? 
What would meeting future humans mean for humanity on Earth?

How about instead of "aliens" being alien, they were actually humans travelling back in time from the future to study their origins as a species?
