People were shorter back in the day
If there was a man or woman that was tall by todays standards then, they probably would consider them a "giant" back then

There is little doubt that humans once existed alongside other sub-human species including the pre-historic people we call Neanderthals for the lack of a better word. Humans apparently used their superior brains to exterminate the more physically powerful Neanderthals. My guess is that some isolated Neanderthal or a combination of Neanderthal and human interbreeding survived for a while to become the "giants" of legend. A big powerful half naked hairy part man of six or seven feet would become a "giant" after a couple of generations of drinking grog and story telling around the campfire. It's just a personal theory of mine.

Uncovering the secrets of North America's Ice Age giants
16 May 2013 - Eighty thousand years ago the Earth began to cool, marking the start of the last Ice Age. Experts are still discovering how the big freeze affected the giant mammals which prowled its dramatically changing landscape.

Scientists are helping to uncover the secrets of giant Ice Age beasts like the sabretooth cat - by foraging in crates of dirt which were collected during the building of a car park. Wooden boxes were built around deposits of earth in 2006 after construction workers discovered the near-complete skeleton of a woolly mammoth while digging underground parking spaces at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The crates were designed to salvage the remains for scientists at nearby Page Museum while also making way for the bulldozers.

More than three million prehistoric fossils from 600 species have been excavated from California's tar pits, which trapped and preserved Ice Age creatures as they roamed the territory tens of thousands of years ago. The 23 crates, which each have a resident palaeontologist, and 327 buckets of fossil material are yielding vital discoveries and are expected to take several years to examine in full.

Project 23 is just one of a series of explorations documented by a new BBC series, Ice Age Giants, which has combined cutting edge fossil studies and CGI to create lifelike footage of the prehistoric beasts. Here are some of the Ice Age giants of North America. The continent was half-covered by an enormous ice sheet at the peak of the last Ice Age, but land south of the ice suddenly became richer than ever before.
