Aldmeris is a myth, it's a collection of shared memories between the elven races from before the Aldmeri split along cultural lines and formed all of the modern Mer races.

And while all the races do descend from the Ehlnofey, only the normal Ehlnofey, those that would become the Mer, ever "came from Aldmeris".

The Ehlnofey that would form the manish races, the wandering Ehlnofey, were never part of Aldmeris, which is why men do not have the same shared memory of the Almdris homeland that the Elves do. didn't they originate in aldmeris, but were sperated from the collective during creation?

either way, they were a single race/species and men/mer are just two different breed types where each race is a part of one of the greater sub-types.
