Which is exactly what I ahve proved in the above posts. I would however redefine that we were only hindered only in the first three ages by elves, my argument has two sides. Men needed elves for a long time, because of their superior skills in virtually every area and were helped spiritually by them. There, in the protection of the elves, men grew to what they were to become, beings that could exercise a free will without being ruled by good or bad. They needed elves and were not hindered by them in the first age but it was increasingly so in the latter ones.
The alst aprt is sadly proved in the Númenorean cutting down of woods in the region between the old forest and Fangorn.
