Quote:
A race that learns as fast as a human but lives 10 times as long will quickly outstrip even the most talented human in all aspects of skilled work. Therefore, elven workmanship will be valued high above human, human labourers will go out of business and their families will starve! This will lead to groups of Elf-hating humans stalking the lands, which in turn will lead to elves supressing humans in shanty towns and using them for cheap manual labour...
Depends. Elves reproduce less than humans, get most of their wants from nature, don't have a thriving commercial sense, work decades on a single creation.
Just a comment.
