^ Diseases don't enhance the sick or change your species, though. It's important to remember that, in almost every conceivable way, ghouls are the superior animal by a wide margin.

Whatever it is, it's got more to do with the RC Cells than the kakuhou. Both humans and ghouls have them, though in humans they don't seem to do anything at all unless one develops ROS, in which case it's very detrimental. But at some point they developed an organ to collect them, and their accumulation leads to ghoulification. It's just that why that would even happen doesn't add up right now.
