It's a question of genetics, largely determined by ethnicity. Some genetic backgrounds are biologically predisposed toward balances of hormones conducive to growth of body hair. At the same time, it's often hard to guess which ethnic backgrounds correlate with prolific hair growth because cultural pressures induce women to remove their body hair for cosmetic reasons. One can make one's own observations; I prefer to keep mine to myself, for fear that I might be incorrect.

Ha!

Yeah. This is entirely too contrived.

Your game or whatever, but this is just silly.

...I think it's to late.

I must agree with your sentiment, the concept of reproduction in primates, i am a firm believer in the sentiments of Jared Diamond who has also written allot about human evolution...... and about third man (could this be orc?)

The ideas you put out are well thought out and the cycle of the elf is similar to that of primates (some) but as we don't know what they are thinking it is not possible to say they only have arousal at the time of heat, however the only other primate apart from man which douse is a type of monkey whos name escapes me they do it for fun and bonding, with anything they can get there hands on.

I know that elf biology is not the same as human and to all intents and purposes not real. However you have to draw something from our biology if they were goblinised or born elf (it's a case of genetics).

Dwarves well, if you look at skeletal differences in male and female primates of all species there is one simple difference between the both, the brow ridge, even in illustrations seen in source books the male's have a brow ridge's and the female's don't, ( well almost a bit hard to tell in the case of orks and trolls).

The argument could be made that the Dwarf, Elf, Ork and Troll are different species but they came from a base species (that being man) and should still hold some simalaritys to anatomy. However this subject could be debated for a long time and it is not proven science, so anything go's.

Good concept

Nope, not really. Massive changes aren't how evolution works. It is all about minor differances that don't significantly deviate from normal but which provide a reproductive advantage. Over thousands of generations those minor deviations will be standardized and/or exagerated. Such massive changes over such a short period of time would not be evolution, it would be revolution.

However, UGE is not evolution. Rather, it is the expression of traits which alread existed but which had been supressed by enviromental factors. 5000 years is not nearly enough time to select against those suppressed traits so there wouldn't be any evolution away from them.
Say, for example, I started a island colony and put a chemical in the water supply that caused fetuses to devolp clubbed feet. Over the centuries, clubbed feet would begin to seem normal to the inhabitants of this island. However, if the contaminant is removed the children born without it will have normal feet. This has nothing to do with evolution.
The same is true for lactating men. Men have all of the structures necessary for a fuunctional breast and we are able to devolp those structures into working milk-machines. However, most men do not have large working breasts because we lack the necessary hormones. The introduction of those hormones is all that is necessary to produce a race of big-breasted men.
In this case, the enviromental factor is mana.

Personally, I would look at metahuman anatomy it from the Fourth World rather than the Sixth World. I also wouldn't make the differences so extreme.

I'm just glad he didn't state that elf males go into a period of sexual frenzy once every seven years, which requires them to either mate or kill their Captain.

Because everyone knows orks and trolls are just animals.

And elves are all hawt nymphos who are far to speshul to have deal with messy ol' biology like real women.

And dwarves are so manly that even their women have beards and dicks.

Isn't it fun turning them into one-dimesional sterotypes.

Orks giving birth in litters is one of the most nonsensical things in the setting.

Magic Indians conquering half of North America makes more sense.

Art Dankwalter makes more sense.

Mana is all that's necessary to give men big breasts?

We might want to rethink that awakening thing...

I know what you meant, but it's morning and that's what I saw at first...

not to necessarily disagree with you about the silliness of litters, but isn't there a hormone treatment they give now that increases fertility, and the chance at twins, triplets, quadriples or whatever the heck? could ork females naturally carry such a hormone?

It's a question not a statement, so nobody flame me.
