Re: origin of hobbits

&gt;&gt;since there can only be somewhat a 10,000 years between the creation of Ea and the Fourth Age&lt;&lt;

Only? Depends. Calculations are closer to the 750,000 year mark, and that's conservative in not counting the actual constuction and ordering of Arda let alone Ea which could add a lot more than that to the figure. Men awoke around 65,250 years, or thereabouts, prior to the Fourth Age. That's a long time for alot to happen. This of course assumes MYTHS TRANSFORMED is accurate.
