Some may be perspective-such as the Germaninans towered over Romans. And even Native Americans were generally taller than say the Pilgrims-but a taller tribe that is now extinct were the Susquahanocks (for whom the river is named) who according to John Smith and other early explorers stood on average 7 feet tall some much taller.<br /><br />So I dont think a chaotic pituitary covers all our bases.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568342056330504573.post-8436858182478176902010-02-05T10:35:03.693-07:002010-02-05T10:35:03.693-07:00Fascinating.

It makes me wonder if this was gigantism in the modern medical sense, or if something else caused these huge people?Angela Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283365861048428440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568342056330504573.post-15423946320966517692010-02-04T23:00:23.575-07:002010-02-04T23:00:23.575-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568342056330504573.post-13393522975946295042010-02-04T16:37:53.166-07:002010-02-04T16:37:53.166-07:00Thanks TH.Thanks TH.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568342056330504573.post-20722375306982504382010-02-04T12:51:34.294-07:002010-02-04T12:51:34.294-07:00.
