Something puzzles me concerning the beornings.

In 'The Hobbit' I get the impression that Beorn is a solitary character with no living relations.

However in LOTR a whole race of Beornings is mentioned.

What I dont understand is how a whole race can appear in a period of 80 years. Could anyone help me concerning the origins of the beornings.

Where there other beorings in the hobbit that were not mentioned?

Any answers would be much appreciated. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
