As a reminder, I used the word unpossible for the same reason Scarne hinted at.
You and others like you (you know, ignorant yet easily swayed) seemed to think there's a away around this problem, but there isn't.

Are we talking Herman Munster size or Godzilla? Giant is subjective.

There could have been giant-sized primates, but they probably wouldn't have been human-like primates. And there isn't any evidence of even such primates being around in the times of the Bible or Sumerians. There is plenty of evidence of giant forms of other mammals having been around so it seems strange that there would have been a giant primate that didn't leave any evidence, especially if it had been around sometime in the past 5000 years or so.

Seriously, there is a reason elephants look the way they do. In order to support that much weight.

"Giant" sized apes, up to ~10 to 12 feet tall would not be outside the realm of possibility - which means humanoids of similar size are also not unpossible.
That is not what's being shown in the video however. That footprint is a human - not an ape or pre-humanoid primate. Worse, it's close to 4.5, maybe 5 feet long, which is roughly 6 times the size of the average modern human foot.
It is at this point that I like to suggest everyone "Do The Math".

You are correct, and the changes would have rendered any giant humanoid into a very different body shape and morphology.

But what if aliens had changed the gravity of the earth so that it was much weaker? That would explain the dinosaurs and other giant creatures!!!111
