I think this is a essential question. Was there a planetary society while the parahumans were created or were there multiple societies and cultures? Over what kind of time frame were the various parahumans created? Were any types created near the end or in response to the coming collapse?

Or consciously conserved by restricted breeding; though maybe only a few lasted til modern times.
