Just to throw another wrench into the works... Who knows how many
babies were born spike babies (elves) and their parents and doctors
explained the ears as a freakish mutation. If cases were isolated
enough and few enough, you could have spike babies being born well
into the 1800's. These children would have lived their normal human
lifespans believing they were human until they realized that all their
friends were getting older and they weren't. And in the late 20th
century, plastic surgery would have been available to "fix" the ears
of these babies.

How would that affect the number of elves in the sixth world. ;)
