I dunno....I am getting the following from my (old,
unfortunately...anyone have more recent?) Seatle Scourcebook.
Humans: 63%
Elves: 13%
Dwarves: 2%
Orks: 19%
Troll: 2%
Others: 1% (BTW, this mean Dragon? :)

You honestly don't think that this could be achieved?
OK...I know that that pole could only be taken of SINful people, but
let's gratn, for the sake of argument, that there are, roughly, an
equal amount of SINless races.
1. Human's aren't having 100% human babies anymore
2. Elves and Dwarves, besides producing their own, are getting 'help'
from the Humans.
3. Elves and Dwarves got a jump start on the Trogs by about 10 years,
albeit that 10% of humanity turned meta (Trolls and Orks) overnight,
and Elves and Dwarves would, at max, be 10 years old.
4. Orks and Trolls breed like rabbits.
5. There might have been intervention by the IEs (ok...not yet proven
yet, but there is a motive)
And you still think that there 'just isn't enough time?'

Hmmmm....I can't say you're definently wrong, but I *wont* say that I
think that you're right. But Kudos to you for standing behind your
ideas!

Signing off,
