I know we are gamers and not scientists (or only some of us are). Two things, I wonder if such thing are possible in real life. We know spieces adapt because of the changes in their environment for exemple but the Falmers where more deeply affected (I mean they are not only blind, but also feral) : is it possible to "desevolve" a race?

Also, I don't know about you but I like guessing the inspirations of a game. Most of the races of TES have similarities with real life people. What about the Falmers? I don't recall anything like them. In books, movies or TV shows, maybe?
