Men: A race affected by disease and other rough aspects of Middle-earth and is weak compared with the Elves. Men are far from perfect. They sweat and can smell terrible at times, unlike the Elves. So, do you think Tolkien intended Men to be exactly the same race as us (although not as advanced, because this story was set in an age a l-o-n-g time ago.)
