Hi Jassim, you wrote in the article about ghouls:

> Those "monstrous" traces in ghouls have unknown origin. Humans have got classified in biology taxonomy but ghouls have not, and that increases the mystery about ghouls.

I think the first sentence can basically stay. Even if some characters in Tokyo Ghoul do know about it, it could also be understood as a statement from the reader's perspective. Also, I think it's true for the public in Tokyo Ghoul; chapter 116 hints that. But still, we should clarify that this is from the reader's perspective and not necessarily the truth in the story.

It would be more correct to talk in that sentence about the kakuhou organs or Rc cells or the ghouls themselves, but let's leave it at that. (BTW: Why the hell do humans possess Rc cells? To my knowledge, they serve no purpose, they only turn humans into prey for ghouls, so why do they exist in humans? Ghouls need these cells, but that doesn't really explain why humans have them, too.)

I am more conflicted about the second sentence. That ghouls weren't classified at all is a much stronger statement. It basically states that no character knows what ghouls really are. It's extremely unlikely that this is true.

Even if the public doesn't know about it, that doesn't mean nobody knows. I would expect some of CCG's/GFG's researchers to know. Otherwise, they would have failed their job. I wouldn't be surprised if Kanou possesses that knowledge, too. Perhaps Yoshimura also knows... That the public doesn't know, is no proof. CCG obviously keeps secrets from the public. CCG hides from the public what kind of weapons they use and how they are really created, and in the TV discussion with Ogura-chan, we also see that it's not even clear to common people that ghouls can't eat any normal food. Common people also do not know that ghouls look just like humans.

I would like to clarify the first sentence and erase the second sentence, if you have no objections.
