OMG! Sethnesmee! You are so right! I had never thought of that reason for making the tribe shapeshifters. I kept thinking...how does Edward know this and why does it even matter a rip? I now understand. It was all done just to avoid a fight with the Voltui. That's the only apparent reason. Your guess about how Edward probably knew was spot on too. I think that too. But other members said that Edward knew the previous wolf pack members...and maybe THEY told Edward...or Edward read their minds. I don't think that this was likely since shapeshifters pass on their memories as well. So, Jake would have already known...BUT he didn't. The fact that the pack were actually shapeshiftters also would have been handed down in the folklore of the tribe. And there was nothing in their folklore to suggest this. Perhaps Edward had ran into shapeshifters somewhere else....maybe these shifters knew what they were...and could change into anything. Perhaps Edward recognized that the tribe were actually shapeshifters and NOT werewolves. But, during NEW MOON and part of ECLIPSE, Edward seems pretty ignorant about the pack. Bella even had to explain some things about the pack... and Edward was shocked and even didn't completely believe her.
