The Dwemer and Orsimer are quite different than the rest of their race. There are 11 known sub-races of Mer, and among them are the Aldmer, Altmer, Ayleid, Bosmer, Chimer, Dunmer, Dwemer, Falmer, Maomer, Orsimer and Sinistral Mer. It is believed that all Elves came from a race known as the Aldmer, which is now extinct. Much like humankind, Mer tend to vary in skin tone, from dark ashen grey to pale yellow or gold. Due to this, they are rarely prompted to start wars over territory because they don't experience the same overpopulation problems other races often face. Due to their longevity, their fertility rates are lower, their bodies only compensating when they endure heavy losses. Sometimes called Elvenkind, the Mer enjoy significantly longer lifespans than Men or Beastfolk, living for several hundred years.

Of the sub-races of men, there are 17 known distinctions: Al-gemha, Al-hared, Bretons, Duraki, Horwalli, Imperials, Keptu, Kothringi, Men-of-ge, Nedes, Nords, Orma, Perena, Reachmen, Redguards, Rontha and Yespest. Men are said to be able to interbreed with Merfolk, but whether or not they are able to breed with Beastfolk is unconfirmed. One of the most significant differences men seem to possess is a shorter lifespan than most Mer, as they don't often live beyond 100 years. For example, the men of Skyrim tend to be relatively pale-skinned, while the Redguards of Hammerfell are dark-skinned.
Men come in a variety of sizes, shapes and skin tones, often dependent upon the region they hail from.
Lorekeepers among the Mer do not detail their origins, and men themselves have no record of their own origins. The origins of humankind are unknown, as there is no specific region of Nirn men came from. Their numbers are vast and, at times, overwhelming to the other races who populate the regions they occupy. Men, or humankind, is one of the predominant races in Tamriel.
