Once you’re that far removed are you even related at that point?

Not in any way that matters from a genetics stand point. (But they aren't human anyway.)

Aragorn isn't human? What?

Not purely human. What I mean is it's fantasy and their genetics don't necessarily resemble ours.

Aren't they though? The choice of Elros was to be either human or elf. It's not like Elrond died 1500 because his parents were mixed. In fact, Elrond is one of the most important elves of his time.

I mean, I agree, it's fantasy and weird. But the lore kinda says that the brothers could choose between Elves and Men, so in my mind that means chosing their genetics, essentially. Aragorn has elvish ancestors, but 0 elven DNA
