So we all know that the first Men came from Atmora.

But I'm wondering, what are there relation to the Elves? Seeing as the two are literally 99.9% similar. (Taking this from science, as 99.4% of our DNA is the same as Orangutans)

Why were they BOTH created by the Eight Divines? Different preferences of different Gods? Or maybe they were both one race, but split into two? (Like the Bible's tower to heaven, when God split Man into different races and nations so they would not come together to rival him)

Also, from the statue of Ysmir, it appears that Men were quite tall. Maybe about 7-8 foot tall. Of course, this could just be the statue, after all, there are statues of people IRL that are bigger then reality, right?

Also, were they all Nords? Bretons? Imperials? Or were the some mixture, like the superior race?

I love discussing lore here <3 I wanna hear what you all say
