Thoughts on the origin of Orcs?

>they were once elves

And yet, in his later notes, Tolkien had this altered, and seemed to be moving towards a mannish or animal origin. See “Morgoth’s Ring”

The way I see it, Orcs are a mixed breed, representing the commingled corruption of ALL forms of life: elf, human, Maia, and animal, into a degraded form dominated by the rule of its Master.
