The Elder Races live longer, that's true. They don't necessarily start adventuring at a later age though. You can easily say to those players who wants to play non-humans that htey have to start with younger characters to balance out their superior stats. Or you can say their childhood is longer, where they are sheltered and primarily learn skills such as plant lore, mineral lore and the like, while humans learn more adventure-related skills from a lower age.
