You know, if it weren't for all the gaming and literary tradition of elf-blooded men, I'd say do away with the half-races entirely.
On the other hand, you could always turn the various hybrids into Human racial feats. Make them a little beefier than normal feats, but restrict them to being purchased at character creation and build some drawbacks into them.
After all, there isn't much difference between a Human (minus bonus feat) with a little bit of Elfsight and the Half-Elf variants you guys are bandying about.
edit: And, it clears up the issue of whether or not half-races get the Human versatility, since they're still mechanically Human.
