Changes

A '''giant''' is traditionally a massive mythological creature that in all other respects resembles a human being, or simply a particularly-large 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 offspring of fallen angels.

Similarly, although the Phillistine warrior [[Goliath]] was referred to as a giant, he would not have qualified as a true giant in the traditional sense.
