1. What is the difference between Atmorans and Nedes?

Atmorans are the ancestors of the Nords (and are basically the same) the Nedes are native humans of Tamriel but I believe they were small in number and are now extinct (am I right?)

2. Did their interbreeding create the others?

No. I'll explain more in a minute.

3.  Why did the Nords and Imperials differ in evolution?

Imperials are a cross bred race of all the other humans, I'll explain more in a minute.

'''4. Where do redguards come from? '''

They come from a now disappeared land mass in the west called Yokunda.

Bonus answer:

The Nords and the Redguards are the only "pure bred" humans on Tamriel. They direct decendants of the Atmorans and Yokudans respectively and I assume they are pretty similar to the inhabitants of those continents. The Bretons and Imperials are mixed races. The Bretons are a mix of Atmorans and Elves. The Imperials are a mixed race of all humans, so they are Nords+Bretons+Redguards. This is because of their central location and because of the Empire. The Empire created the Imperials, not the other way around.
