12: Do extraordinary tall people exist?

Legends of giants occur everywhere. But bones are hard to find once people say they discover them. There are lots of old black and white photos of the tall ones found in the USA in the 1800's. Even Native Americans have legends of giants - every race in every time period in history does. Most were hunted to extinction.

But they can't actually exist can they? Are there any modern examples or normally proportioned and healthy individuals?

Pic 5&6 show Charles Byrne who died in 1783. I've included photos of real people to provide perspective. Sure some like Robert Wadlow (2nd pic) had some posture and movement problems, but many others didn't. The lower left photo is a 9' skeleton dug up at Santa Monica beach in the USA.

If ancient tall ones did have some defect it, would be in how slow they would be able to move. This means they could be easily overcome once your initial fear subsided, or you have previously befriended them and knew of their weaknesses. Now a group of them would breed and produce more tall offspring, wouldn't they? I don't know the history of these individuals above to comment on whether that would occur as modern tall women and tall men are not hooking up. But seen above are some modern giants and if they can exist now, then they did exist in history. In ancient times, if you were tall - and in isolated groups, you would produce a whole race of tall ones. But proof of old tall bones is very hard to find. Keep with us. Keep watching.
