In origins a conversation between Sten and Loghain (Party banter) has Loghain saying that humans have been in thedas so long they might as well have been in thedas forever and Sten says the Elves say otherwise saying the elves were in thedas before humans.. I recall reading somewhere.. Think it was from codexs that Humans came from Par Vollen or something. So Elves and dwarves were in thedas first.
Out of those two races however, Elves and Dwarves which one was around first / In thedas first? Does anything mention the answer to this or does anyone know?
I ask because there is a theory going around that the Primeval thaig is actually Arlathan - David Gaider mentions however that it is dwarven architecture in the thaig and that is not by accident and so have began to think perhaps the dwarves are the ones that originally taught building and architecture to the elves

I don't think it's been declared which of the two races was the chicken and which was the egg. It's very possible that they both were brought into existence at the same time, just in different areas of the world.
The elves were supposedly immortal at one time, so that might indicate that they were (of) some divine nature. The dwarves focus their lives on "the Stone" - which may or may not be symbolic to the earth from which they came. And then the tenets of the Maker state that he created the Fade then the mortal world of Thedas (though no specific peoples are declared as being his second children).
There could be one common ancestor from which several groups developed. And I suspect that the clues to that lie underground.

I had a mental image of a dwarf laying an egg and it hatched into an elf.
It wasn't pleasant.
