So, what have we learned about giants? Our current understanding
of human biology finds limits as to how tall a person can grow
and can still be relatively healthy while enjoying an advanced
age. This knowledge then places limits as to what the majority
are willing to believe about the tallest humans throughout all
history, that no one could have existed beyond 8 to 10 feet tall
at the most. In the still-nascent field of archeology in the 19th
century, excavations do seem to provide accounts of unusually
large individuals in Europe and significant numbers of taller
than average Native American tribal members here in the U.S., so
perhaps whole communities could have been seen as giants by
contemporary standards. However, there are those researchers and
writers who believe, possibly spurred by those findings and the
subsequent, apparent mishandling of artifacts by some museums and
academic institutions, that there exists a conspiracy to keep
evidence of beings beyond that range from the public, and that
the even more massive giants of yore were real, and some may even
live to this day. If this is true, then one must think about our
definition of a real giant, and would that giant be a real
human?
