Fareal I wasn't suggesting that The Fourth Age Age Hobbits instantly started to settle down and marry the Big Folk. It is said that Hobbits were closely related to Man in origin, what else can they be, some offshoot of The Druedain or a unreported union of Man and Dwarf. Tolkiens Origin of Species is quite informative, that is until we come to Hobbits. The Halflings are totally unnoticed until well into The Third Age, if by mutation a species of The Atani has become smaller, then by mutation it can grow larger ie: Ent Draughts. If you introduce things into a Gene Pool you can get Native American Indians with blue eyes, or Grass that we now call Wheat. Peoples can be traced in origin by language, Tolkien knew this, so what is the language stem of the Holbytla.
