Read Terry Pratchett and Steven Baxter's books if you need more details.
If this is such a scenario, then the chances are that Argent is human but from a distant parallel where evolution took a few different turns.

Yes. I just read Long Earth, and quite like this theory. Ardent would have just "stepped" into this version. But why would he claim to be from space?

It depends; it could just be that this is how he refers to being from a different dimension. There is no easy way to describe it in a three-dimensional context anyway.
If he is someone who has 'stepped over', then, from his reaction when Jack woke him up, I wonder if he is the first of his Earth to do so. It is quite clear that, up to that moment, he had no idea whether he would wake up! It would also explain why he does not know the normal terminology for such displacements and it would also explain why Alice became immediately suspicious of him.
Stoutfellow:
This probably marks me as an old-timer, but the "weird dog" bit reminds me of the Smothers Brothers routine, "Mom Always Liked You Best". One of the bits of evidence Tom presented was the fact that Dick got a dog, while he got a "crummy chicken".

I'm just waiting for the green haired android lady running the local Coffee Shop to appear.
