Sometimes I just get the mood on reporting strange groups of people who tend to have extremely tall stature to show just how varied the human race can be.

At least 3 of the river bottom, Threshold, Chau Giang Dinh Trang village for generations (Lam Ha commune, Phu Ly, Ha Nam) called “giant village” because there are many prominent persons, including you have excellent volleyball players Ngo Van Cong (1.92 m) and Ngo Van Kieu (1.96 m). village of the giants …Nguyen Quoc Toan at 1.82 meters tall
Dinh Trang village is surrounded by the Pearl River peaceful, with more than 272 households with 1,300 people. Number of male and female youth aged 15 to 25 with about 250 people, 70% of height 1.70 m or more.
Truong Dinh Tuyen – Dinh Trang village chiefs – said, from time immemorial, Dinh Trang villagers had tall stature prominent than the other villages.
According to estimates by the village cadres, the average height of women here is 1.70 m, 1.80 m and men’s. According to the village head to his foot family of athletes and Ngo Van Ngo Van Kieu, we are not surprised from the height of the family crowded command “giant” is. Reportedly, his family Ngo Van Cong height outstanding from previous lives, 1.8 m high grandmother, grandfather height 1.82 m.
His family Ngo Van Cong were listed among the highest in the village, parents were approximately 1.8 m, other than him and his brother Ngo Van Kieu birth Ca-1977 – 1.9 m high, second brother Ngo Van Canh-born in 1979 – About LinkBacks shrinkage is 1.85 m. He tells briefly of them have more than 20 people on a 1.80 m high, and 1.70 m high number of people or more, incalculable.
Specifically Trinh Van Dat – in charge of the rural elderly and the patriarch Cheng – did not hide his pride: “Throughout history, go, Dinh Trang village youth to also significantly higher. They Trinh my house, there are also very high. ”
So what is the point of this post?
This shows that like the type of insular gigantism (and insular dwarfism) phenomena seen in other mammals, humans can go through insular gigantism too. In isolated locations like small villages and islands where most humans haven’t reached yet, it is possible that over multiple generations, the entire height of a small group of people can be raised to something that is beyond what the rest of people in that ethnicity can reach.
It gives more credibility to the writings in the Christian Bible of groups of villages and people in human past which managed to end up much taller than others. I propose that there were giants in the human species past which resulted from certain villages with the height gene being isolated from other shorter groups and tribes of people. I am not proposing to go through with something like eugenics but if we wanted to create a group of giants, this story is good evidence that we could through specific mating selection based on stature.
