Adding to that trian of thought, no reason why not on a fantasy world
humasn due to climate, food, air gas mix, minerals in water or whatever
could not have a greatly enhanced lifecycle. Hmm, or maybe one could go
for like "elves/whatever" are basically humans who arrived millenia before
and have adaped to the world and are now so different, but at base
chromosonal lever are still human and thus the possibility of
iunterbreeding. Not my cup of tea but ja nee, could supply some sort of
plausability. Converse could also apply. Or maybe in the case of dwarves,
they have been stunted and made very strong by higher gravity compared to
earth.
