What if rather than being descended from strictly animals, Wesen were descended from both humans and animals. What if, ages ago, humans and animals could interbreed. But the humans wouldn't know they're that the animals were using them to procreate, the ones that did know would be the ancestors of the Grimms. But this history is lost to everyone, because of the Flood (I know that's a little Biblical, but all cultures have a Flood myth) which was meant to destroy these half-breeds. But they found a way to escape the Flood waters (for irony's sake, let's say it was in Germany) and have been hiding to avoid the Flood waters ever since. It's because of this that the Wesen Council enforces the Code-so the powers that be don't unleash the Flood waters on the world again. But the followers of Black Claw and the like wish to re-impose the power over humans that their animal ancestors once possessed.

It's a little crazy and impossible-but so is the concept that this wonderful show is based on.
