Time for a random rumor form a passing troll:

2kinds happened in a post-apocalyptic world, a very long time has passed after the nuclear exchange where the leftover radiation caused mutations in various species to develop faster than normal effectively accelerating evolution which ended up with the two furred races.

The humans who arrived on a boat (June 15 2007 comic) might be descended from some humans who were in some kind of cryogenic chamber when the nuclear exchange happened and then unfrozen when the radiation finally reached safe levels after an extremely long time and then their decedents having forgotten the knowledge of the past made off into the mainland.

And what's left of the technology of the past could account for magic since there could be some seriously advanced tech buried and the races mistake it for magic, the humans being the original designers of the devices might have put safeguards into the tech which for some reason ensures that the two other races can't access the power sources of the tech directly which forces them to use mana crystals while the humans can directly access the power sources for the tech thereby bypassing such limitations.

The Basitin could be descended from genetically engineered soldiers from the past which would explain their apparent immunity to poisons and disease since they would probably be designed with NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) protection, an addiction to following the orders of superiors, resistance to injury and extreme focus in the heat of battle, the NBC protection would also explain how they survived the fallout as long as they weren't in the general blast area of a nuke.

Perhaps, but Radiation Resistance doesn't equal fur. There's nothing I can think of that would have the government put fur on humans, let alone Fur that was natural and in their genetic code.

Post-Nuke is an interesting theory, but it still leaves many loop-holes.

I would say that the fur is for insulation in harsh climates and the nuclear protection is a separate thing.

I'm sorry, I don't want to sound like a jerk but... what was this guy on at the time?

But then this ruins all chances of them being able to go back to a normal life (Because, let's be honest, Anonymous would single out the soldiers beyond belief. Let alone something like the Racist hicks, Overly Religious hicks, etc).

Besides, if you can rearrange a Humans genetic structure to such a degree, I can think of at least two seperate Super-Human programs off the top of my head that would work better than such.

It has potential, but about as much as the Military replacing Tanks, Fighters, and Subs (All at once) for Mechs.

It's a very interesting idea, but I have one word that, unfortunately, makes it practically impossible.

Masks.

What no one mention rat keidran?

...Well that would give humans a good reason to want them all dead...

...cuz they're full of pleages and eat people...

There is no mention because GW would sue all the Rat Kiedran as being a Copyright infringement on Skaven.

Don't worry, the Skaven are 'base' on ratmen form "Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser" by Fritz Leiber

plus they havn't sued Blizzard for those new terra jump troops of Starcraft 2 (yet)

well you are getting ahead of yourself here if they were in some cryogenic thing they would be probably a little more advanced then we are now and would not simply forget everything they learned in school and if they were alive that would mean that the cry pod would also be intact and everything around them ie probably a generator and lots of food why would they simply throw all previous knowledge away and then go on a boat for who knows where and simply restart without the use of there technology it just denies all logicality

The Masks created all the races, remember?

No! The fur is obviously an adaptation to the extremely cold nuclear winter (or equivalent) that ocurred post-apocalypse. Add in a bit of genetic mutation and VIOLA! you have the Keidran and Basitin. The humans can be explained by assuming there were survivors who lived in deep underground bunkers for thousands of years. And the "magic" is certainly just "sufficiently advanced technology" (Clarke's law).
