I missed you, glad you could show up in my thread, like clockwork, like a doggie to cheese doodles 
After getting owned so completely and thoroughly that you locked your last thread to hide it... I would think you'd give some of what I say at least a little research.
Hey I am not ashamed of that, was a simple case of as you said not fully reading the research paper. Admitting to being wrong is ok with me. Shit happens but you eat this shit up like a scat lover takes to poop..

(didn't watch the vid)
I'm not in any way saying there were giants ,I've seen no evidence that convinces me there were but if you acknowledge Gigantopithecus. existed ,you have acknowledged the bipedal form can support that size.It is scientifically possible that Gigantopithecus. and humans could have interbred or that we carry the genes that would make that size possible.I don't think the "it is not scientifically possible" argument holds much weight at all.On the other hand the people who believe in "giants" fall short when it comes to any real evidence.
So, you didn't watch the vid and have no idea what is being discussed yet firmly believe that the "not scientifically possible" argument doesn't hold up?
Wait... whut? 
You should probably watch the video - that way you know at least what's being discussed before you put your foot in your mouth.
A humanoid with a 5 foot shoe size is TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE. It's not scientifically possible, not mathematically possible, and not physically possible. You're talking about a humanoid 36 feet tall weighing more than 43,000 pounds - heavier than an African Bull Elephant and three times heavier than a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
He would take one step and every bone in his body would shatter like glass - and nothing that evolution could do would prevent that.

I went up against a Cloud Giant in AD&D once and got my party of four wtfpwnt fairly easily. Too easily if you ask me but we weren't geared very well.
Then again our Dungeon Master was a GODDAM IDIOT, so who knows wtf happened.

So bones of giants aren't proof that giants existed? What about dinosaur bones? Are they not proof that dinosaurs existed? Its insanely idiotic to say that they didn't exist at one time. Unless your stating that the bones are fake. But judging by the numbers found and the fact that they are all around the world would lead anyone with common sense to question that theory. Either way to you people bones arent proof. So therefore, dinosaurs never existed either with your logic. Its idiocy at its finest. I expect nothing less from the outpost.

Physics disagrees with you.
There are no bones of giant humanoids, btw.

You are correct, and the changes would have rendered any giant humanoid into a very different body shape and morphology.
the only quantifiers in the post i responded to were "human-like" and "giant" both ambiguous terms....
Well, human-like generally entails bi-pedal.
I'm not certain if a bi-pedal animal could become as large as described. In fact, I'm highly doubtful.
It's not as bad as the theories/myths of giant invertebrates, though. Anything with an open circulatory system can not get much bigger than a lobster.
The largest lobster found was 4 feet long and 44 lbs.
