I think it is what the true others are. I believe the true others (natives not people that came to the island) are a race of Atlantians who are able to separate their souls/consciousness from their bodies (smoke monsters), move through time and space - their species are dying off and looked to Ben to protect them from foreigners while helping them re-establish their population and control over the island. Once you arrive on the island, your soul/consciousness slowly evolves to the island’s power, especially if you’re chosen or marked. Once you begin to change, you cannot leave the island for extended periods of time. True Atlantians have evolved with the island to the point that they exist without a body and can re-insert their souls into unborn children - in order for immortality, but human invaders have screwed up the island preventing their re population … or they’re aliens with four toes…
