This is a major gap in lore, as far as I am aware. The elves, tauren and a lot of minor races seem to have no relation at all to Titan creation legends at all.

It seems likely that the animal-based creatures like the quillboar, wolvar and furbolg are some manner of offspring of the mysterious Ancients. We know that the centaurs are the offspring of Cenarius or his sons. The Tauren claim they were created by the "Earthmother', whoever she was (possibly Elune).

That does still leave the kaldorei (or proto-kaldorei if you want them to split into troll and elf). Perhaps these are the only purely biologically evolved intelligent lifeform on Azeroth?

One thing that I still don't understand is how representations of night elves and tauren are so prominently on display in Ulduar..
