I don't know if it's been confirmed, but general consensus is that his species are the evolutionary ancestors of yordles (i.e. not yordles per se). The clue is in the fact his reveal is called "Discovering the link" (i.e. missing link) and his entire family look very similar to Yordles. This is why he's being referred to things such as a saber-toothed yordle, cave-yorlde (caveman), Neanderthordle (Neanderthal), etc.
