Congratz on finishing the book, reread it a few hundred more times and you will soon have all the names memorised pretty much [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

If Hobbits are descended from Men, wich is what Tolkien says, then how on earth did they diverge so quickly. I'm sure there was only about 7/8000 years from the coming of men to the War of the Ring. Thats some bloody fast evololution. Its not as if they had massive turnover numbers like insects and bacteria so that they could evolve quicker than usual.
