Well, if we take Qrow's volume 4 story he learned from Ozma as an accurate succession of events then the God of Darkness created the Grimm before the God of Light decide he had enough and decided to jointly create humanity as their masterpiece.

Regardless, we do know that the first cycle of humanity predated the Faunus because they weren't around in Ozma's time. And we also know from Jinn's narration that humanity avoided the Land of Darkness like the plague because they feared the Grimm that came out of the pools so they definitely fought before the first apocalypse; although the widespread use of magic probably gave them a bigger edge. So, again, I get why the Grimm targeted humanity once they evolved from apes (my current headcanon is that the evolution great apes was accelerated in places with high concetrations of dust) but unless the Gods returned at some point specifically to create the Faunus race out of nothing, we have to assume the Faunus came to be through evolution as well. In which case, what I am wondering is what exactly has to be different in a life form for the Grimm to collectively decide to seek its destruction.

And no, I am not trying to make it sound like the Faunus are sub-human or something by making animalistic comparisons. After all, if the God of Light was really talking about evolution when he said that man-kind will learn to walk the face of the planet once again then humanity's very, very distance ancestors were also animals. I am just wondering what is the criteria the Grimm use to decide which life forms deserve extinction and which ones should be ignored so long as they don't get in the way.
