Grammatically, there's no reason they should be capitalized. Human is never capitalized. You rarely see elf or dwarf or halfling or anything of that sort capitalized, because why would it be? It's a species, not a race. We don't capitalize "dog" or "cat" or any animal species. As far as grammatical correctness goes, there's no reason at all to capitalize it.
But personally, I often find myself capitalizing them simply out of habit (oftentimes, they're capitalized in game and/or on the game's accompanying material, so I guess I just picked it up). Since they're words that are foreign to us, the first instinct is probably to capitalize them.
