Tolkien conceived that Middle-earth was the predecessor of our world. We are descendant of Men. All the Elves have gone to the West, or they would be unseen under the law under the Sun. Dwarves retook Moria and lived Khazad-dûm till the "world grew old and the days of Durin's race ended". The fate of Hobbits was revealed in the Prologue "now they avoid us with dismay and are becoming hard to find".
