Question: All the Eloi seem to be the same age and are taken below when they reach maturity, which explains why there are no adults. If so, where did Weena and the others come from, and where are the children and babies?

Answer: George's narration indicated that the Morlocks, after capturing a certain number of Eloi, used them for food, but also as breeding stock. It was never explained how resulting children were bred, raised, and eventually returned to the outside world to be later harvested.
