Quite recently I read the Silmarrilion, I enjoyed it thoroughly but one question remained:Where did Hobbits come from. Though half the book is creation myth the hobbits are not mentioned till Of the third age and the rings of power, and even then briefly. Where did our favourite hungry halflings come from. Perhaps they evolved from men but it doesn't seem a very mythical solution and very unlike the rest of the book ( with whole species being created fully formed. Does any one have a more satisfactory solution, if so please enlighten me and the other wiki members.
