Pretty easy to find references like this on the net Pamnez:

Yahoos are the human-like creatures that Gulliver first encounters in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. Not recognizing their link with humanity, Gulliver describes the Yahoos as animals: “… deformed …. Their heads and breasts were covered with thick hair … but the rest of their bodies were bare …. They had no tails and often stood on their hind feet ….” He concludes with, “I never beheld in all my travels so disagreeable an animal.”

graemer. I did find lots of references to yahoos on the net. I think the thing that confused me (I am easily confused) was that the question asks "what FORM did the yahoos take". I know they were ugly brutish humans so I suppose the answer must be "human". Or am I missing something?
