Is Thorin Oakenshield half human?

In Gene Deitch’s film adaptation in 1966, Thorin II Oakenshield was actually a human and a general and was one of three survivors in Erebor and Esgaroth along with ‘Princess Mika’.

Can elves and dwarves breed?

In the book-verse, Dwarves had a separate creation from Elves and Men, the “Children of Iluvatar (God).” Elves and Men are the same species—they can interbreed and have fertile offspring—but they have different spiritual fates. Dwarves on the other hand were not created directly by God.
