Hey Haro, I posted a few theories about where ghouls came from, so here it is.

Have you ever heard of the Cthulhu Mythos? If you haven't, it's pretty much a long story about a bunch of alien races and their gods battling for control of the Earth. In many cases, these beings have actually performed numerous genetic experiments. Ghouls are mentioned in this story. They are said to worship some of these gods, These Ghouls wore "Purple cloaks and Silver skull masks". That's what Aogiri members wear.

So my theory is that these alien gods that visited Earth implanted their DNA(RC cells) into a large group of humans. The reason for this was that if the gods died, they would be reborn through the ghouls that achieved awakened kakujas(One eyed ghouls).

One connection between this series and the Cthulhu mythos is what happened to Kaneki. In one of the stories, a dark god named Cthulhu had a daughter named cthylla. Her existence was part of a plan. If Cthulhu were to die, his daughter would give birth to his reincarnation. Kaneki was attacked by Rize, who had tentacle like kagune. Think about it.
