Talk:Faunus (WoR episode)/@comment-10390252-20161128122223

So...

This is  the first information that we've had that suggests that the Faunus are a distinct race from humans that have a seperate origin. Why then are they genetically compatible.

I think that this may be an 'Eevee' scenario: The faunus's ancestors were so gentically adaptable, genetically, that because Remnant's entire ecosphere was being terraformed to an Earth-like form, their DNA mutated to reflect that of the newcomers and their domestic animals because it couldn't tell the difference; it just wanted to optimise them to survive.

So the Faunus are the aboriginal inhabitants of Remnant and the humans are colonists.
