What if the Avatar world…

…is Earth in the future?
Think about it.
Why would they call the animals things like “platypus bears” and “polar bear dogs” if the original, normal animals had never existed?

So… what if, in the not-too-distant future, there was some freaky, genetic-alteration-type stuff going on?
Scientists started by hybridizing animals. They were so superior that normal species all but died out (that’s why only rich people, like the King of Ba Sing Se, get to have the super-rare normal bears).
The testing was supremely successful. They had even been able to create animals with strange powers… so they started on humans.
They managed to create people with power over the elements.
But (stupid scientists) the new people waged war on each other, with normal people caught in the middle.
They separated into factions, determined by element, with regular people forced to arbitrarily choose sides.
The fighting raged for years until society was all but destroyed.
The factions, unable to remember what they were fighting about or how society used to be, were reduced to almost tribe-like states.
From there, society had to start over. Without technology, people embraced a more spiritual side of life. Myths began to arise that people had learned bending from the badger moles, the flying bison, the dragons…

But obviously, it was not true.
The Avatar was the result of one of the final genetic experiments.
The scientists, desperate, created a person with power over all four elements, hoping to unite the four sides of the war.
They failed.
The Avatar, however, in a strange twist that the scientists did not forsee, was reincarnated through the nations in a cycle.
The scientists had tapped into a power that they had no knowledge of.
