Aldmeris is a myth, it's a collection of shared memories between the elven races from before the Aldmeri split along culteral lines and formed all of the morden Mer races.

And while all the raes do decend from the Ehlnofey, only the normal Ehlnofey, those that would become the Mer, ever "came from Aldmeris".

The Ehlnofey that would form the manish races, the wandering Ehlnofey, were never part of Aldmeris, which is why men do not have the same shared memeory of the Almdris homeland that the Elves do.
