The Dunmer ancestors are, as their name already says, ''ancestors. ''Which means that they must be Dunmer too. There's no proof it's a Dunmer ancestor, or an ancestor at all. They just call it that. At the same time that most of the Dunmer changed their appearance without knowing what happened, most of the Dwemer disappeared without knowing what happened, perhaps. Maybe Azura was pissed at the technolical society and the Chimer arrogance and blended them together to have one people who worship her.

She didn't. There's no mention at all that the Dwemer and Chimer were merged. You're making all of this up.

Also, it's mentioned several times in Morrowind that the Dunmer can summon their ancestors, which are Dunmer too. Not only that, but the Chimer didn't change into the Dunmer "at the same time". Whole years went by between the disappearance of the Dwemer and the creation of the Dunmer via the Tribunal's breaking of their oath to Nerevar.
