Tolkien suggests that they are related to Humans though he says the origin of Hobbits is unknown. If they are a type of human, I guess that they are also Children of Iluvatar.
Quote:
It is plain that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves. Of old they spoke the languages of Men, after their own fashion, and liked and disliked much the same things as Men did. But what exactly our relationship is can no longer be discovered. The beginning of Hobbits lies far bac in the Elder Days that are now lost and forgotten.
