Well Nance, I'm pretty certain that the creatures are in the hybrid primate/human grouping, they probably come from the same branch that we humans came from but like Neanderthal they did not progress further as we did, but I believe that they are of the same tree as ourselves, they have all of our features and are most definitely are smarter than any other group of beings besides ourselves and overall I'd say they are peaceful but just sick and tired of us taking their land for our own use (as we also did to the Native Americans) and are forced to live in smaller areas. I'm sure that some are tired of being forced out of their homes and having to constantly move to other less populated areas, and have gotten somewhat aggressive to us humans, and there again show human traits as we wouldn't be happy to be forced to move either, we all know the reactions of said Native Americans who didn't move peacefully. We need to stop turning forest into communities and leave them untouched areas to live in, just my thoughts!
