The Redguards, Bretons, Nords and Imperials are all generally perceived as Men, regardless of their partial Mer heritage (in the case of Bretons and some Imperials), which continent their 'human' aspect originated from (Atmora for Nords, Bretons and some Imperials, and Yokuda for Redguards and some Imperials), or their cultural similarities to other human societies.

The four human ethnicities in Tamriel are universally recognized as human.
