Notice that the opening narration doesn't say 'human' or 'Faunus', only 'man'. So did this narration refer to humans specific, or was it both humans and Faunus?

Just saw this as well, it does intrigue me. Were they both created at the same time? Or did they split later? My guess is that it is the former, if the creation story is to be believed. Evolving in such a way would probably take longer than the amount of time since humans learned to talk. Of course, something about this world might promote accelerated evolution.

In any cases regarding evolution, an interesting thought that occurred to me is that Vytal could not have had an ice age in the last 160,000 years or so (or an equivalent number if evolution is accelerated). The continents are close enough together that land bridges or short crossings would likely have existed, eliminating the isolation required for two sentient species to evolve.
