The argument for "relative size" sounds so much like coincidence-theorists and what they say to deny corruption. Like, VIKINGS had stories of giants, and they weren't pigmies. Gaelic-speaking tribes also have stories of giants, THEY WEREN'T PIGMIES.

Honestly, you guys are better than this. GConly pointed out what was wrong with the picture. Everyone else is just laughing at how dumb people must be to consider the reality of non-human intelligent life on this planet. Personally, I don't know why people are so quick to side with academia on this. If another intelligent species existed on this planet just five hundred years ago (the stories fit this timeline) then the powers that be would have a vested interest in keeping that hushed up. Especially if those other intelligent species have been involved with our race for a very long time. I'm not trying to convince you that giants exist. I don't care.

I do care that people here are really quick to treat this like the flat-earth theory. Suspiciously close-minded in this regard.

If I came off as not open the idea, then I apologise.

I was just mentioning what I had found out in studying them also - and what hurdles the idea would have to overcome to gain "wider scientific acceptance".

I think I'm just upset with GConly, my apologies.

Don't sweat it, I really appreciated your point about not all groups being pygmy's, lmao - my brain obviously had a short-circuit.
