Very interesting thread. I wonder if there is any more information that has come to light since the last post.

This is a very interesting thread regarding the giants.

It indicates they may have been born by cesarean??

I always wondered about that.

One take is that several legions of fallen devils (giants) possessed men to sleep with the women.  Men can be actively or passively possessed.  We often in language supplant the figure for the reality, or the reality for the figure.  We call St. Thomas the "Angel of the Schools."  But he is not an angel.  Christ in Holy Writ is referred to as an Angel.

I remember reading Brownson and he attempted to explain dark people.  He said that the third son of Noah, Ham, traveled furthest from the Ark, into Africa, where the people turned into a darker color.  Promote this theory at your next biblical conference!

Or they just grew more quickly after birth.  Even in modern times, we have had people who have been extraordinarily tall, and yet they were born normal size.  Hard to say.  Generally, they just grow very quickly due to high excretion of HGH (human growth hormone) ... often attributed to a disorder of the pituitary gland, but perhaps a (non-abnormal?) genetic disposition for the same could have led to the giants of old.

Tallest recorded man in recent times was about 8'11"
