Aren't people GETTING taller? Just thought this was interesting

Check your sources.

Also, gigantism is linked to a problem in the pituitary gland, not genetics or other factors. In any case, a few skeletons does not equal a trend.

Well yeah, I can understand gigantism being a disease causing freakish growth, but our tallest have been 8'11" Robert Wadlow. The tallest skeletons have been between 9-16 feet.

I'm not passing this as fact because frankly, I've never seen a giant skeleton, but it is interesting to me.

And you never will cause they were all fakes.

On a related note, the average boob size has gone up from a 34B to a 36C.

Rejoice!!

Probably because of obesity.

Some real giants:

Not true, similar size skeletons were found at sites in Greece, such as Mycenae, and dated to around 15-12,000 BC.

I've seen similar sites before, and I thought they must be made up.

So are people now saying these are genuine, there were actually giant humans around in the past?
