What are the Autochthons?
In the book of the new sun, there are many variations of humans and other life forms. There are regular humans, ape-men and Zoanthrops, and probably some other variations. However while the Autochthons are vaguely described as tribal and primitive, they are not necessarily described as human or sub-human. I believe at one point in the novel its alluded to that the Autochthons are cacogens (extra-solar aliens).
What or who are they exactly?
