While the game mechanics separate Harpies and Beasts, that's not really something worth basing theories on. It also separates Kitsune and Beasts, only Nanabi has Beast levels, the other two Kitsune don't even have access to that race. It also has Mermaids and Sea Dwellers as different races.

Also, even if we ignore Chimaera, Apoptosis/Chaos monsters, Worm Summoners, Angels and other "Not really monsters"-monsters... and even if we exclude artificial monsters like Dolls and Zombies, and let's exclude Ghosts to get the Spiritualist set complete... ...there are still 18 different base monster types left. Yoma, Demi-Humans, Imps/Succubi, Vampires, Mermaids, Elves, Fairies, Slimes, Beasts, Kitsune, Lamia, Scylla, Harpies, Dragons, Land Dweller, Sea Dweller, Insects, and Alraune are all considered separate base races.

But there are only six ancestors. So, I'm going to go ahead and assume that some of these races are related. So, while Harpies aren't Beasts, I'm guessing that they're still decended from the Beast Ancestor. Or maybe from dragons, because Birds = Dinosaurs.
