A '''giant''' is a massive mythological creature that in all other respects resembles a human being. Thus [[Robert Wadlow]] (1918-1940), the tallest human on record measuring 8'11", would not be a giant in the traditional sense as he was simply a human with a rare medical condition. True giants form a race apart, and may be as tall as 60 to 100 feet. The Bible mentions giants under the term [[Nephilim]], and these were certainly not human, but rather demonic offsping of fallen angels.
