The statement was Orcs are view by other races more than beast than Elves. They are being viewed more as beast. It doesn't necessarily mean they are indeed more beast than Elves. Yeah, like there's a definite "canon" when there's In-game claims saying that the Dragons have been gone for a very long time when people meet dragons just about every game.

Again, you're sidetracking

Elves lifespan are about 2-3 times longer than men. Since older than 200 years is considered old by elf standards, it is likely elven natural lifespan is around that range on the average. Remember that Barenziah lived for at least 400 years considering she has met Tiber Septim and if she survives, she'll be well over 400 years old. Plus if they are exceptionally skilled in magic, alchemy or blessed by gods, they can live forever without side-effects
