Wondering about shared interests

prehistoric humanity

Who isn’t interested in this? I’m no expert but it’s fascinating all the same. 

Since it's prehistory, by definition, there's no historical record.

Which leaves it open to interpretation and speculation based of patchy evidence. Interesting but always subject to revision.

There's some fanciful stuff out there.

But the antikythera mechanism, albeit not prehistory, points to more sophistication than some allow.

People 10,000 or 50,000 were not mentally much different to now. The problem is we have issues to piece it together from what ever scraps survived.

Giants….any belief in those? 

That’s interesting, perhaps these ancient accounts of giants were just really tall everyday people but to the observers seemed unearthly and almost alien. I suppose when transport was limited and new cultures/civilisations met others it would have felt like they were worlds apart in some ways. 

If you reads some accounts from Greek and Roman sources they do mention how tall some peoples were, such as the Germanic tribes and the Scots too, even today there's a height difference between populations, with shorter people tending to come from around the southern Mediteraean and taller people from the north such as Scandinavia and Germany.

There is a medical problem that causes people to keep groing taller, it can be treated but not I think easily.

Many fossils were thought to be of giants, not just dinosaurs, but ice age mega fauna too.

I would suppose a giant would be not of this earth in terms of his or her height. If you go with the texts they were not of the highest powers creation and therefore deemed unnatural, impure, immoral and evil. The great flood was the means of mass execution for these half breeds. If the higher power created man in his image perhaps the fallen were the same, they would still need to be able to relate in some way to human beings unless they did so without emotion and only on the higher powers orders.

possibly giants

What would qualify as a giant? 7 feet tall, 20 feet etc?

There are some humans who have been known to grow really tall but they often have serious health issues as a direct result of this, Since these are natural and know I imagine you would consider someone much taller.

At, say, 20 feet tall, the human frame could not support this so an foreign genome would be required to be compatible with humanity to be able to create a hybrid as you describe.

I'm curious as to what qualifies as a fallen one? If they were angelic would they have been shaped by God to be able to reproduce? If so, it raises lots of interesting questions as to why they were deliberately designed with unnecessary equipment.

An interesting thought experiment could grow from this.

There is mention in certain texts of fallen ones making home with people….creating monstrous offspring…possibly giants and the like. I am not one to close all doors unless I can be certain, I’ll always be superstitious but I also have a keen interest in the supernatural.

There's a known tendency for species that are isolated on islands to become giants. Galapagos tortoises, for example. See island gigantism.

Sometimes they grow smaller, though (like Homo floresiensis, the Indonesian "hobbits").

Homo floresiensis

Were these the ones found in a cave in Asia? Small and 3ft-4ft in height?
