one, a female 6.5-feet tall,

Big deal. Her female descendant is in the WH.

[onedoug]

Where are their fossils?

Phooey!

[RnMomof7]

Would we consider a 6:5 woman a “giant” ???

[Doomonyou]

This won't go over well in PCville...

[GeronL]

Okay.... before I click the link, I going to say..... PSYCH!

[azishot]

Big Foot? Sasquatch?

[The Good Doctor]

I feel a plea for reparations coming.

12 feet tall is impressive, but

“8-feet tall” not really.

6’11” is considered perfectly normal today - that’s only 13% less than 8ft.

We tend to take height in a very personal way.

Another 200 years of good nutrition & we’ll probably be considering nearly 8’ tall to be normal... again.

They’re going to have to revise the text books. Aren’t the schools currently teaching that the white man took the land from the Indians?

Among the thousands of artifacts recovered from this site of an unknown people is what some scientists are convinced is a calendar: a donut-shaped stone with exactly 365 notches carved along its outside rim and 52 corresponding notches along the inside.

Well, if they have red hair they probably have Neandethal/Scots genes.

[bill1952]

Patagonians? Red hair??

[Little Bill]

Talked about before ping, damned newbies.

[King Moonracer]

Sounds like Sam the titanthrope’s descendants from Riverworld.

So, cannibalism is another practice that the “indigenous peoples”engaged in, and therefore somehow less “European” and more “organic?”. Can reparations and equal protection under the law for this “alternative lifestyle” be far away?

Am I the first to call Bravo Sierra???

[Pilsner]

their ancestors' battles with a ferocious race of white, red-haired giants. According to the Paiutes, the giants were already living in the area.

Not all the tall, redheaded, cave men died out.

Vintage Skulls

The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas.

Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans.

I remember back in the 1960s that some of the old western magazines were offering books for sale about these “giants”.
