“While I lay drowsing on the earth, there came to me the voices of the growing things of Arda, mourning the loss of the light of the Lamps. Now the living things of Aman indeed rejoice in the light of the Trees, yet Middle-earth remains in darkness. And the time of the coming of the Firstborn of the Children of Ilúvatar draws near."

Her contented peace that afternoon, however, was abruptly shattered when a spear shot through the branches scant inches from her head, narrowly missing a squirrel, which shot down the trunk with an angry chatter, to lodge in the trunk of the next tree over. Nellas shrieked and jerked back out of the way, arms flailing—and fell out of the tree. She landed roughly on the ground below, knocking her head against a root hard enough to make her see stars.

First Contact ! Finrod meets mortals.
(When i wrote this, i had paid no attention to Men, being only interested in Elves. But there is no excuse for forgetting the existence of Dwarves. Nor for not reading the book closely enough to spot the line "marched in warlike companies". Canonically, then, Men were iron age, not stone age when they met Finrod. My error.
But still, i like the story, so i'm leaving it there. Someone must have met them then, even if it was Morgoth.)
