It is my theory that Gollum was a hobbit but at a different level of evolution, so his kind probably didn't lokk like Bilbo and his kind.
Because Gollum had the ring and his life went on for so long in 'suspended time', he never evolved, where as all the rest of his kind evolved into the kind of hobbit that Bilbo was, or maybe his kind died out, and another hobbit like creature became the hobbits we know and love today?
Anyway, that is my theory as to your question. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Probably all wrong but at least I had a go.
