Hobbit race
I have a very basic question.
Where do Hobbits come from? We know the origins of all species (elves, men, dwarfs, orcs) but not of Hobbits. Is it written anywhere in Tolkiens' material? or is it meant to be a mistery? |

Some sort of varient of humans, I do not recall ever seeing anything about how the arose/differentiated from larger humans. Lots of speculative possibilities tere; make up your own story for them.

Yes, desended from men.
There were three different kinds of hobbit race before known as a common one (smeagel was one of these races many years ago). The process from man to hobbit is not well known I dont think, at least Tolkien didnt go into it at any great detail.
