Page "Shadowrun" Paragraph 10
from
Wikipedia
Characters in Shadowrun can be humans, orks, trolls, elves, dwarves, as well as certain diverging subspecies ( known as metavariants ) such as gnomes, giants, minotaurs, etc.
In the early days, when magic returned to the world, humans began to either change into, or give birth to elf and dwarf infants, a phenomenon called Unexplained Genetic Expression ( UGE ).
Later, some juvenile and adult humans " goblinized " into other races ( mostly orks, but also some trolls ).
The term " metahuman " is used either to refer to humanity as a whole, including all races, or to refer specifically to non-human races, depending on context.
