	Tolkien never explained the origins of hobbits in his world and genre building bible, but did mention three short folk sub races: the dwarf-like Stoors, the elf-like Fallohides, and the human-like Harfoots which was a wink wink that some sexual deviation of some sort was responsible for their origins. Naturally with early D&D being a direct ripoff of Tolkien, TSR included hobbits even keeping the sexually implicating sub races but resorted to changing the names to avoid a legal bend-over of ankle grabbing stiff walking for a month proportions.

 Also, in the same setting, dwarves and gnomes can have babies together, since dwarves were magically created from gnomes. Unfortunately, these babies are "gully dwarves", which are universally ugly, hairy, smelly retards. Dwarves and gnomes saw what they had beget with such horror that they have decreed they will never mate with each other again. Unfortunately, they didn't figure this out before there were enough gully dwarves running around to propagate their own vile selves everywhere.
 In the 5e corebook, it's mentioned that many believe the Stout breed of [[halflings]] are the result of halfling/dwarf crossbreeding.

 As mentioned above, Dragonlance has half-dwarves, and 3.5 made them playable in the Races of Ansalon splat-book. Half-dwarfs are rare, and almost entirely hill dwarf-blooded; the more isolationist mountain dwarves simply don't interact with humans that much, and dark dwarves pretty much never see humans, so their half-dwarves pretty much don't exist. Half-gully dwarves do NOT exist, period; no human would EVER mate with a gully dwarf.

	Now lets consider D&D, with active deities loose in the world with plenty of time it very conceivable that at some point in the distant past the gods selectively started to alter traits in some single humanoid species (Let's call her [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus) Lucy] for LOL's) to create the human, elf and orc races much as we altered wolves to create our dog breeds. [[Corellon Larethian]] is said to be the god of the elves and would be responsible for creating them, while [[Gruumsh]] made the orcs and the infamous battle between the two that cost Gruumsh his eye would be the result of an argument over what form the elf/orc race would take.

	The observant would note that this would mean we should see Orc/Elf hybrids in the game, however consider the size difference between and Orc and an Elf. Why it's true that you can breed a Chihuahua and a great dane, the Resulting puppy causes significant problems for the mother. So an Orc male, female Elf would need a C section, at best, in order for the baby to be born at all. Orc Female male elf on the other hand is distinctly more viable but, and lets be blunt, this situation is much less likely then an Orc male elf female combination because Orcs (being mostly evil) are more likely to rape as part of pillaging while massive culture differences keep the two apart in most other cases. On the subject of alignment as anyone who has owned dogs knows is that dog breeds have differing temperaments and attitudes explaining the fixed good and evil alignment of most races. That humans are far more Alignment flexible suggests that they are the "base" species and the gods created the Elf and Orc races from humanity leaving the unaltered humans to develop on ~~there~~ own.
