The Crewman Synthesis gives us a look at the Sentients before they were shipped to Tau. Not even close to human. It would be a pretty weird coincience for them to evolve into humanoid creatures.

As for why Lotus and Burning Lotus looks human, the first line of dialogue BL has is "Natah, who have you become? Does this form remind you of what you were?". Personally, I think he's saying that to Tyl Regor at the moment, as Regor's inside the tomb and waking this this up, BL would see Regor before anything and mistake him for Natah.

More notably are the lines "who have you become" and "this form"; while the first could easily be written off to Lotus' change of identity to what she is now, the second carries HEAVY connotations that BL has had other forms in the past.

Personally, I think the Sentients - just these or maybe all - have some shapeshifting ability - whether it's natural or done through technology I canno say. Or it could just be what we see talking is some kind of puppet for the main body (that Lotus throne looks suspiciously like a small Sentient ship).
