 Squats
Of all the Abhuman strains, Squats are perhaps the closest to normal Humans in physiological terms.
It has even been rumoured that some of the strongholds which were lost to the warpstorms in the Age of Isolation may have survived, their horribly-mutated inhabitants raiding into the Imperium from time to time.
Space Marines are noted for their intolerance to Abhuman races, whom they see as tainted and genetically impure, and the Admiistratum will not generally post Squat troops to areas where they will be in close contact with Marines.

 Romanticism On the Net 10 (May 1998)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In the impressive array of literary material gathered in support of the argument about the period's 'ruination of traditional constructs of human identity'(3), Hurley opens a rich and suggestive vein of Gothic horror, sinking her teeth into numerous examples of decomposing flesh, slimy bodies, anamorphotically bestial and sexually polymorphous creatures.
But with the abhuman generalised into a definitive, if formless, condition for those that once considered themselves 'human', a strange, and Gothic, truth is revealed: structures, like sex and identity, are arbitrary and provisional, the idea of full humanity no more than an illusion.(pp.
Instead of instituting a single opposition, like that of human versus abhuman, the argument proceeds on the basis of cultural and historically specific readings of particular configurations of sexual, class, religious and racial oppositions in texts that include Gothic devices.

My view: Abhumans are human settlers that evolved to their environment on alien worlds where mutants as sudden, deviant genetic aberrations that occur in a single generation and usually involve Warp taint.
Abhumans are deviations from the baseline norm, but acceptable ones (squats, ratlings, and ogryns are all abhumans).
Abhumans have a stable world wide population that you can tell was once human, at the time of orginally settling, but then changed to fit their enviroment.

 New Books in 19th Century British Studies - Books
She writes that "[t]he abhuman subject is a not-quite-human subject, characterized by its morphic variability, continually in danger of becoming not-itself, becoming other" (3-4).
The abhuman subject is the central concern of the first of Hurley's three sections in her book.
Hurley stresses the amorphousness of the abhuman body and its inability to avoid becoming nothing more than a "Thing" when she writes with her characteristic tone, "Nothing illustrates the Thing-ness of matter so admirably as slime" (34).
