The underground ghouls Ayato met claim themselves to be humans. Considering the fact that what is happening right now in Tokyo is a huge parallel to what happened to the old city, and we are witnessing humans mutating into ghouls (in one way or another, Dragon is the cause), it's safe to say that the people of the underground ward were once human, as they claim to be, and Nagaa transformed them into ghouls in a similiar fashion to Dragon.

Yes, the thing about Rc cells seeding and spreading throughout the human body is a theory, but was reinforced in this chapter with the people becoming ghouls. If Rc cells are indeed parasytes, then it's possible Dragon released them as spores throughout Tokyo, making them proliferate into humans. But this is just a theory.

The thing about pluripotent cells is stated by Kimi I believe, or maybe Kanou, in the recent chapters. Can't recall which one, but was clearly stated that Rc cells are pluripotent cells.
