As we've seen so far, this series has been shown to be "scientific" (I use that word lightly). So I don't think the Arabian myth concerning ghouls really pertains here. To be honest here, I don't know what you're asking; how to become a ghoul or just the origin of the species as a whole? So I'll try to answer both questions.

So we all know that you can be born a ghoul or you can have a kakuhou inserted into you and become one. I'll just guess that one needs an abnormally high amount of RC cells and then boom! you're a ghoul. Or ya got RC cancer. Don't think I need to go too in depth.

As for the origin of the species itself...shit, I don't really know. We don't even know the wide-spreadness (not a word) of ghouls in the world; whether they're just in the East, or all over the world. So I'll just take a guess. So, basically, ghouls are said to be a "disgrace" from 100 years ago (it says that somewhere I think). I think that this means that the ghouls are a victim of some sort of disease/genetic mutation that was supposed to be quarantined, and that was obviously a failure. Of course, there seems to be quite a bit of ghouls, so it'd be a pretty big group of people that was quarantined.

Anyways, just a thought I had to answer this question; feel free to pick it apart!
