I personally attribute the difference to changing technology, however there are mechanisms within that lore that allow long term change of races. All elven races descend from the aldmer, it seems that their environments change their forms. It may be possible that the elves just evolved over time, or perhaps their was outside interference. All of the subsets seem to be perfectly tuned to their environments in a relatively short amount of time.

I would like to point out that there are no recorded instances of man and beastfolk successfully interbreeding. Between man and mer genereally the child will favor the mothers race.
