I think its important to note some of the differences however, according to racial phyologeny man and mer can interbreed. Yet Mer and Khajiit cannot result in viable children. Also the Khajiit hold special reverance for the moons, which is the corpse of Lorkhan, while elves despise Lorkhan for robbing them of their divine soul. All mortals come from one of the 12 original worlds, which all descend from Nir so it would stand to reason that physical similarities would exist. Physical likeness does not gurantee genetic overlap.
