As far as we know from the lore they are directly tied to the Hist. So in other words due to the Hist they evolved from the lizards in Black Marsh. This is why the drink Hist sap and "worship"(Though it isn't worship in the traditional sense, they have rituals and such but they don't think the Hist are gods.) the Hist trees.

And also, Argonians didn't have breasts in Morrowind. Bethesda retconned breasts in so as to not make a third type of armor. If they didn't give the Female Argonian breasts then they'd have to make every armor have a Male, Non-Argonian Female and Argonian Female equivalent. As the Argonians would need to have feminine armor to fit their breast-less physic. So this is another thing caused by Bethesda laziness, they didn't want to have to do all the extra work of making a third type of armor for every armor in the game.

As I understand it, all life on Nirn aside from the Hist and Dreugh (which are remnants of past Kalpas) originated with the Ehlnofey. So yes, they do have a common ancestor, in that all life is a product of the non-Aedric, non-Daedric Ada that could not leave with Magnus. The Argonians may not have come from the Old Ehlnofey or the Wanderers specifically, but they did come from the original Ehlnofey: the Hist only altered their form.
