If there were humans on Oddworld, how do you think it would affect the universe?

In my opinion, humans aren't as greedy as the glukkons. Even with all the modern factories, there are many ideas to keep the nature alive, such as use of ethanol. I think there would be industrial humans as well as native humans. Even today, there are many indigenous tribes that never go out of their territory to interact with the outside world. With Oddworld, which is 10 times larger than the Earth, and there are more natural features that a native tribe would prefer, there is a large chance that some humans would just live in their territory, hunt scrabs and paramites, and not even know about the glukkons. They would probably have their own small villages, like the villages in the Neolithic Age, with meep farms, and houses made of the same trees that Splinterz cuts down. I think that some of them would be enslaved or used as a Rupture Farms product, just because glukkons would treat them as unintelligent beasts, but they would be harder to enslave than mudokons, because they are not a superspecies. The remaining humans, though, wouldn't attack the glukkons, because they simply wouldn't know about them.
On the other hand, many humans would be willing to join the glukkons to make profit. Making profits is the most important goal in the real world, so I'm sure that if humans would be given a choice of killing the wildlife and living in giant castles with 698 king-size beds, or protecting the animals that might kill them and living in hiding and poverty, they would choose the former, and the industrial world would become even stronger with those humans' alliance. These humans would even have an organization, like the Magog Cartel and the vykkers' conglomerate. I can imagine humans making factories like Flub Fuels, where they make fuel for different vehicles. It would be just like the gas factories in the real world, except much more violent. I think the industrial humans would also be the only industrial species that enslaves its own kind. But it would also be the only species that would be on both sides of the great native vs industrial battle.
I'm not saying that humans on Oddworld is a good idea. But if it happened, there would be results. Post what you think these results would be in this thread.
