My bad then, I couldn't remember if the news report showing the faunus protest was during ep. 1 or 2. Stiil, my point cam that in series, it seems, humanity isn't used to reefer to faunus.

I wasn't thinking it necesarily being an special connection between faunus and grimms, just about the lifestyle making faunus more grimm friendly. I imagine somethign similar like what happened in our world.

Humans, as an species, started off in Africa. From there, migration took us, first to Europe and Asia and finally to America and Oceania. With time, at each part of the world, humans developed into different ethnic groups with their own culture and sometimes physical traits different from those of other ethnic groups (like skin colour). When Europeans arrived to Africa and America and encountered the ethnic groups living there on a completely different way than them, well, we know what happened.

Maybe faunus and humans are the same? Not so much of a different species but they look different for the same reason humnas in our world may look different depending on their ethnic group of origin? So, there was a common ancestor group that started to migrate across Renmant. This group of ancestors, depending on where they ended, developed into what they concider humans or what they consider faunus. Faunus ended with a lifestyle akin to that of indigenous people in our world human civilization turned towards somethign more akin to European civilizations in or world. Humans "discovered" faunus... and so on.
