This is what I somehow got from the interview too as well, hence this thread question.
I thought it was quite logical in my head that the playable races/some beast tribes happened to exist before the split (Sundering) because of the First's races' similarity with the Source's races. Until the story devs come out of the left field with this info, totally blindsided me. That the First's races similar appearance to the Source's races is because of evolution/coincidence was like giving me metaphorical brain concussion.
