Could be so. But it is said that Beorn is in distant relation to the Edain of the first age. Also your assumption may be correct Maia and human...But i think Luthien and Beren would be more probable. After all Beren did love animals and he also went under the spell of skin-changing as u mentioned Keeper of Dol Golder (sorry about that) you are correct...it was a spell.
But what was this spell? Did it remain within a man's body to be passed on to generations? Did the spell inflicted on Beren stay within him...myb leading to Beorn's skin-changing?
These are my assumptions which you probably dont care for...but will create a bit of a debate if possible...
