So this is a little off the topic when it comes to human history. A while back I did this project on a second wiki about the possible evolution of mythological humanoids (elves, gnomes, hobbits, etc). The thing is that I'm really not that good with alternate history and culture, so it would be a god-send if someone gave me some advice on possible cultural traits that they could have.
