As far as werewolfism being the genesis of all shifters, I don't know. Before Berserkers were brought up I probably would've said yes, if pressed about it, but now that's they've mentioned Berserkers, I'm thinking probably not Werewolves arent shifters though We will just have to agree to disagree on that. I consider them a form of shapeshifter whether you do or not. My bad i meant to write berserkers arent shifters. Though technically Weres and shifters are different in traditional lore as far as this universe is concerned yes werewolves are shifters.

I thought for sure Chris said something about Berserkers being shifters. Though traditionally they aren't, it seems that Teen Wolf had put their own spin on it, like the Kanima. I could be mistaken though. It was when Derek and Chris were in jail, I think. I was thinking they actually shifted by wearing the animal pelts, kind of like Native American skin walkers.
