Tausendberg, your theory made me think of Ymir and "Ymir's people". I remember in one chapter she was saying something like "it's good to be a godess". Most probably she comes from another Noble family, similar to Reiss. Maybe something happened 100+ years ago between these 2 nations (?) And "Ymir's people" were turned into dumb dumbs (Ymir included), while Reiss took control of his folks. This would somehow explain, why Ymir cares about Historia so much, as she is a chance to change Reiss rule from the inside.

By the way, dumb dumbs seem to be suffering very much. There have been many hints on this. The very first one I remember is in the opening 1 - the scene showing titans invading through the hole, one of them holding his head as if he is in pain or smth. Then all these talks about neverending nightmares, that Ilse's titan. and the fact that these are people turned into titans, who don't need to eat (seems like solar energy is enough for them), but still need to devour humans, most brobably against their will.
