Some found the Hybrid's prophecy uncanny:

The denial of the one true path, played out on a world not their own, will end soon enough. Soon there will be four, glorious in awakening, struggling with the knowledge of their true selves, the pain of revelation bringing new clarity, and in the midst of confusion, he will find her. Enemies brought together by impossible longing, enemies now joined as one. The way forward at once unthinkable, yet inevitable. And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering. I can see them all. The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin, but in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know enmity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of the one splintering into the many, and then they will join the promised-land, gathered on the wings of an angel. Not an end, but a beginning.

Hey, they found Earth. That's what they set out to do.

I thought the finale would have a definite end but yeah, you could see this being developed into Earth II.

It is true that it is likely unnatural for humans to simply scatter across the planet, alone or in small groups. In that vein, I love the series Coyote where it portrays a new human colony on a strange world but also follows the likely human scenario of banding together for mutual protection/strength with, yes, a few setting out to explore.

Or perhaps we should give these particular humans the same break we gave Major Dick Winters from Band of Brothers, who, after living in peril for years in WWII, retired to small patch of land in Pennsylvania "where I could live in peace for the rest of my life."

Breaking up as they did, it's not unnatural to suppose that through two or three generations, as was the case with the Coyote series, technology began to lose focus to what could be done with the land.

Or maybe Lee was out there blasting Neanderthals with a shotgun. Did they shoot the Raptors off into the Sun as well. Man, I'd love to dig one of those up in my yard. Time to get the shovel out.
