I have a weird but interesting theory that has to do with the origins of the humans of the Monster Hunter universe.

Humans seem sort out of place with the life-forms on the Monster Hunter's version of Earth, and there are other odd things as well. The Monster Hunter world has lighter gravity yet humans aren't much different from the humans of our universe, almost as if they didn't evolve on the Monster Hunter world. Also humans are described as being taught to govern, hunt, and use technology by the wyvernians, as if they didn't know how to do any of these things. The lighter gravity theory also ties into this.

So this might seem odd, but I have an idea that might explain this.

The humans are from our home universe but ended up stuck on the Monster Hunter version of Earth in an alternate dimension. The humans from our world in the far future could have been involved in an experiment to find a suitable home after something bad happens to Earth or one of its colonies. The last surviving groups of humans try to travel to a new planet with some kind of dimensional travel device to cut down the time of space travel. Its risky, but they are desperate to find safety.

However it doesn't work as planned, and they are transported to an alternate version of Earth. This universe has different physics than our universe, explaining the much larger life-forms, ability to lift heavier objects, and the ability for people to survive extreme falls and blows. Unfortunately this comes with an unexpected problem. Because the physics of this universe are different, the advanced technology of the home universe humans doesn't work as they would back home. It is essentially unusable.

They are stranded on the alternate Earth with no way of getting back, so they try to revert to much more basic bronze-age technology. This proves extremely difficult, because the materials melt, harden, and behave differently at differently in this dimension. The same problem exists with making vital constructs and other kinds of primitive technology. Even worse, the poorly constructed weapons and shelters are useless against monsters. With little hope against the monsters, the humans descend into unordered chaos and degenerate into primal stone-age style bands desperately fleeing from constant monster attacks. This continues for millennia, with the practice of record keeping and story telling eventually lost. The memories and histories of our home universe and its technology are lost.

Eventually wyvernian explorers discover a continent untouched by their kind. On this continent they find humans in their primitive state. As a scientific experiment, as well as pity, they teach them how to govern effectively, keep information, more advanced language skills, use scientific reason, and how to construct technology again. Most importantly, they taught them how properly master the art of armor and weaponcrafting in order to hunt monsters. With weapons that work much more effectively and are easier to use, they are finally a match for the monsters. They build villages and defenses that are suitable to survive in this universe.

In time the humans quickly advance to the level of the wyvernians, and the wyvernians begin to coesist with them in the same villages. They share information with each other, exchange variations on technological advancements, as well as weapon designs.

The humans successfully adapt to this new universe's version of Earth, with the history of their old universe long forgotten.

Seems weird but it could be a plausible explanation for the humans of this universe.
