I thought the same since I watched the Red trailer. The shattered moon and it's frgaments may be a  possible hint. Also, ,,Remnant" (who comes from Latin) basically means the rest of something that was destroyed.

My theory is the RWBY universe came to exist from the ashes of a previous world.Maybe someone wanted to launch bombs on Earth, but crushed the moon in process. So, the remaning humans managed somehow to survive, while the Earth healed itself. Then, somehow, they found one single Dust Crystal (possibly from the moon/space/some unknown wondrous mineral/whatever). They tested it on the remainig technology, and, seeing that it makes it work even better than before, they started to clone Dust for their own benefit.

Now, what I think about the Grimm (and Faunus). When humans discovered Dust, they didn't learned from their previous experience, and tested on the animals that survived (and on animal bones too). But they got them out of control, and, so, they became a threat to humans (the Grimm). And they crossed HUMANS with ANIMALS (both living and their...remnants) and, with dust, they became Faunus.

Too hide their cruelities, they made up stories, similar to folk tales, trying to explain the origins of this world. And also, I think the descdendents of the ,,first" humans  became the mebers of the Council or formed rebels (like Ruby's ancestors).

Well, this what I think.
