Just like my other question this has got nothing on it anywhere, where do the house elves originally come from?

If you’re asking how they were enslaved, that seems to be similar to your previous question (I assume some wizards used magic to do it). – Adamant Nov 07 '16 at 07:33

If you’re wondering about their species history, on the other hand…I suspect they evolved, like humans. Magical folk (witches/wizards) and house-elves, as well as Muggles (real-world humans) are probably all apes of some description. But they could have been created by some deity (as might the humans of Harry Potter, for that matter), or even have been magically engineered by wizards. – Adamant Nov 07 '16 at 07:34

1@Adamant - In Harry Potter, wizards originate from Mars and Muggles from mushrooms. (At least according to Hambledon Quince, that is.) – ibid Nov 07 '16 at 07:50

I meant what country they originally came from. – Awesome Guy Nov 07 '16 at 10:36

Well, there are counterparts or related beings in other countries. They do not just live in Britain, though their enslavement may be particular to there. – Adamant Nov 07 '16 at 11:19
