Plus the behavior of the corpses, and the Death Stalker being apparently really damn old. Moreover, they have quantified the soul, all it would take is someone to scan a CoG, and viola, they demonstrably do not have souls, unlike Homo sp., and every other animal. Pyrrha wouldn't ignore them being normal animals, unless she's a fundamentalist. And I think we can trust the opening narration, which gives the impression that the CoG, are, in some way fundamentally opposed to Man.

I've mentioned on some of those threads that my take on CoG is something like lightning that looks and acts a bit like an animal, and is drawn to souls like a moth to the flame.
