Human
Humans have become the most common race for a number of reasons. First of which might be that they have been very good at not picking sides when others have fought. Elves are likely come to each others' aid for instance, but humans end up on all sides and neutral, ensuring that at least some proliferate.
The race has also proven to be highly adaptable. Others tend to be better suited, but only for a limited range of environments. Meanwhile humans are ever present. And after the collapse of the elven empires, the humans were already around in late enough numbers to fill the power vacuum.
