Were there such things as real giant humans?
Possibly. I have read highly dubious stories about giant human skeletons being found all over the world, BUT I have never seen such a specimen displayed. However, the tallest modern humans were well over eight feet tall. It is not inconceivable that a subspecies of humans, or just a tribe of mutants, naturally grew much taller than the average modern human. However, without certain modifications, they would have functioned with much greater difficulty than we do. Point is, a human’s strength increases with the square of the increase in height, but his weight cubes. In other words, a three-foot man of the same proportions (an impossibility, but you get the idea) as a six-foot man would be only a quarter as strong, but weigh only an eighth of his tall counterpart, so in practice he would relatively be twice as strong. Stresses on organs and bones also increase geometrically. Think of the strain on the back, on the knees and ankles, on the heart of a giant man. But… if a single mutant g
