Line 382:
Dwarves are closely related to humans. They have a short stature. Some anthropologists believe that they originated from central [[Novaris]]. According to the [[Bipedaliforma|Unified Bipedalism Theory]], Dwarvines belong to the ''Primus primus pumilio'' species of the ''Priminiforma'' subfamily. Averaging a height of four feet, dwarves are shorter than most species on Urth due to their curved spine. Their limbs, compared to other humanoids, are shorter. The same can be observed with their fingers. Their knees and elbows are more constrictive, resulting in poorly mobile elbows and bowed legs. Their heads are larger, displaying a larger and higher forehead and flatter nose bridge. Regardless of sex, facial hair grow more rapidly with some dwarven men regrowing shaved beards just under a few days. Despite their stature, dwarves are naturally stronger than their fellow humanoids. Dwarves are able to lift thrice their weight even without exercise. Along with this, dwarves are armed with incredibly long memories.

Kemonomimi are primarily human-like with the major differences having animal ears and tail. However there are a few subspecies that lack tail and have moderately different facial structure, but still seeming human. As well, some types of kemonomimi have a heightened sense of smell, hearing, but lack vision capabilities to the degree of humans. Differences in Kemonomimi again lie within the animal influences on their body. Such as certain types of kemonomimi having fluffier ears like one of a fox to both better hear and to protect their ear drums from harsher weather in climates where sandstorms are more common. The spread of Kemonomimi has given way to a wide variety of subtypes, while still primarily keeping to the human biology template. However the various climates, geography, diseases and diet of each of the various kemonomimi have given way to slight differences in internal biology, prime example being the Borean Nekomimi having a much shorter life span but an increased fertility rate when compared to their human counterparts. Another example is the kitsunes having an above average human life-span but lower disease resistance.
==== Nekomimi ====
Nekomimi have a human-like appearance and they have feature triangular ears at the top of their heads, similar in shape and expressional ability to those of domestic cats. According to the [[Bipedaliforma|Unified Bipedalism Theory]], they belong to the ''Primus nekomimi'' species in the ''Priminiforma'' subfamily but some taxonomists believe that they should fall into the ''Caulidae'' tribe along with Tieflings. These are in addition to ears on the sides of their head that are identical to those of humans. They also have cat-like tails. Their cat-like features are an example of [[Wikipedia:convergent evolution|convergent evolution]], as nekomimi are offshoots of a recent common ancestor with humans and not genetically related to Felines. They are believed to have originally evolved in the islands far to the east of Novaris after a period of isolation from other populations, in particular the island that is today Infinite Loop. Nekomimi populations are known to have migrated to South East Yasteria in antiquity, and today can be found in some capacity on every continent. Significant amounts of nekomimi live in Borea and western Yasteria.
=====
Borean Nekomimi is considered to be in the Nekomimi branch of the Kenonomimi tree. Well they look traditionally Nekomimi, their internal biology great differs from non-Borean Nekomimi. Having a much shorter life span compared to the non-Borean counterparts, only living up 60 to 70 years but has a much greater fertility rate. The animalistic parts of the Borean Nekomimi tend to be much fluffier compared to most nekomimi, and often lacking human ears but this isn't always the case.
===== Peregrin Nekomimi =====
Peregrin Nekomimi are a subspecies, or ethnic group, of nekomimi that inhabit Peregrinia. While it is disputed exactly what classification these nekomimi deserve, it is agreed that they represent a genetically distinct group. Marks of this genetic distinction include fair, almost pale skin, a proclivity for heterochromia, and hair that is often several shades of color from blonde to scarlet.
