this does not however mean that they are the same race. A white man, an asian man, and a black man. All have a mouth, stand upright, the same general abilities with some variations due to genetics favoring some over others, and different cultures. Some have better knees, some have better shins, some may grow more fat, others more muscle, some taller, some shorter, varies by each race and "sub race".

This does not make the black man, the white man, and the asian man all the same race however. They are all man, but not all asian black or white. They have a base root, and possibly even common ancestry, but that does not make them one race.



The falmer and the snow elves both have a base root of where they came from, but they're features ability understanding culture, everything is completely different. To me, it is the same as the difference between some of the other races and some of the other elves. If some elves did not become dark elves, their original race would not be called dark elves when they saw them. Only the cursed ones would be known as dark.

The origional elf race of the orcs would not be called orcs either, they would differentiate. There was an obvious change that could not be denied. You would accept the ancestral line, but you would not see each other as one and the same.

They are all elves, all Mer, but not all the same elf. Not anymore.

The genetics is no longer the same. They simply give birth to bald blind savage creatures with what seems to be a slightly different skeletal structure and muscle structure.



Some differentiate themselves purely based on culture. If you don't want to accept the genetic differences, you can at least accept the cultural ones.

And where people knew the betrayed were the falmer, they continued to give them that name.

The ones who could still comprehend the world around them understood that they were falmer, and that they both descended from the same track. But chose to choose the snow elves as their title to create differentiation.

My understanding of Human Biology from school is obviously very different to yours, although this is not really relevant to the thread anyway BUT we are all all human beings-Homo Sapiens therefore all one race, we may have slightly diversified in various ways but we all share common ancestry not to mention countless interbreeding as well. These slightly different strands you quote based on for example skin colour are nothing more than an attempt by various extreme exponents to claim racial superiority (think WW2 and Aryans) The truth is we are all the same race, unless someone can find some Neanderthals somewhere and even then there is a link.
So your premise is based on a false assumption.
