So it's first humans and animals were born from the primordial ooze. Then Grimm came from their spawning puddles. Then Humans found Dust to fight Grimm with it and their Aura.

Okay, now Salem was the first Grimm and Oz was the first human (Adam and Eve style). Isn't it possible all of this could be unreliable nararating to throw the viewer off? Think about it. It sounds crazy, but I know I'm on to something. Salem says "just a man" when the screen shows Oz in the Aura WoR. She mocks his efforts with humanity in the nararation in EP1. Then Oz retorts with more hopeful words. Like they're both watching the world and playing a game like chess and talking trash as they do. I think the Grimm are Salem's pieces and Hunters are Oz's. And the dust is the neutral party used by both. Humans and Faunus use it to fight.

If humans was dropped off on this planet after escaping Earth. Or if this Remnant IS EARTH, then couldn't this be the reason why Grimm predate the discovery of Dust. Because Earthlings before the died out (us), used the dust and doomed ourselves. We started the Grimm and killed ourselves off. Or more likely WE ARE THE GRIMM. We used the Dust too much too long and became it. In our power-madness we became demons hell bent on killing as we did with the Dust. And now, that new untainted lifeforms like the new humans and Faunus are around, we're jelly of them.

Like Poltergiest hating on humans who get to live and be loved, we, the Grimm, hate neo humanity for getting a life that we could never have again. And Salem and Oz are the last original humans left. Which is why they know so much and are locked in mortal combat over the fate of Remnant. They should've been our salvation and get the neo-humans to use Dust wisely, but instead the bicker, turn to waring with each other, and now we have more Grimm being made/born all over again. The cycle/spiral continues.

Salem isn't the only villain. Ozpin is an antagonist too. He's continuing the cycle of self-destruction. Likely in his arrogance that "this time will be different under my leadership". While Salem believe humanity be saved, better to embrace being a Grimm.

Boom.
