The article explores the concept of giants, examining the strange conspiracy theories circulating on social media that suggest giants once inhabited Earth. While TikTok theorists speculate about their historical significance, scientists clarify that giants, while real, are the result of medical conditions such as gigantism caused by pituitary gland tumors. The piece touches on how some populations, like the Dinka of South Sudan, have tall averages but are distinct from medical giants. Overall, while there may be a trace of truth, the reality of giants is far less fantastical than popular conspiracy theories suggest.
While the condition giantism can be caused by a number of different diseases, one that produces the tallest giants is a pituitary gland tumour.
Giants, like the current world's tallest man Sultan Kosen who stands at 8 feet 1 inch, are a very real scientific phenomenon.
Experts say that the origin of Earth's real-life 'giants' is found in medicine rather than magic.
In my medical vocabulary, a giant has a disease, which shows the contrast between ethnic groups and those with gigantism.
