Robusts
Robusts, having descended from the poor, suffer from limited to nonexistent access to healthcare and technology and by comparison with Graciles appear inferior. They exist in a place where disease and famine run rampant. Only by the fate of their innate, partial, immunity have they survived the new Black Death.
While there is a divide between the Graciles and the Robusts, this is due more to the fact that the Graciles have advanced themselves significantly while the Robusts have remained static, caught in a desperate struggle simply to survive. As a people, are still divided, conflicted and violent - yet some have the capacity for love, compassion and altruism. The Robusts, simply put, represent humanity the way we have come to understand it over the last few thousand years.
Contrary to what the Graciles believe, the Robusts have not devolved - the same of which cannot be said about the Rippers...
