ok this isn't in game, but it's on this site. "After several cloned generations, most likely during the centuries of Reaper genocide against the Protheans, the Reapers eventually decided to genetically rewrite these Protheans." I think this makes sense and explains his similarities to the collectors. I have of course just realized you are talking about the statues. Who knows on that one. Could just be what they called art. We do need clarity on that I agree.
