For some reason, archies find a bunch of three foot hominids with
skeletons divurgent from sapient, and we have a new specieshobbits.
But when we find a bunch of 6'4 hominids with divurgent skeletons, we
still don't have giants. Why is that? Is it because giants are
mentioned much more prolifically in religious text, whereas hobbits
are not, and archies don't like giving fundies ammunition?

There are millions of 6'4 people
Are they giants?

I have heard them called giants before.
But they don't have super-thick bones, steroid-like muscles, and
extremely large heads with ultra-robust skulls like cro-magnon did.
And most people they come in contact with are not as short as the
first agriculturalists. So I would say that the 6'4 people living
today are not as much giants as the cro-magnons were.
