Giants

Any explanations of this from an evolutionists view?

Yes - it is made-up crap.

The cone-shaped skull on the lower left is not an anomoly. These skulls are actually pretty common, as far as weird cone-shaped skulls go. It is the product of what is called "head binding", where the skulls of infants are bound such that as they grow, the skull conforms to that odd shape. It was considered a mark of status. Gabriel Lasker, emeritus professor of anatomy at my alma mater, had several of these skulls.What 'museum in France' has the horned skull?From a cursory glance, I would say that is is a simple prank. As has been pointed out, there are no 'bulges' on the skull itself which are seen in all animals that grow horns.Yes, humans do on occasion have 'horns', and they are nothing like that picture.

My response was as intelligent a reply as was required. Others have provided ample explanation as to why these claims are nonsense.A series of undocumented anecdotes - which are notoriously unreliable in the first place - are not "true" or even evidence.

I guess my original question cant be answered due to the fact that from what I'm seeing, evolutionists wont acknowledge the fact that giants did exist.

---

That is probably because, as described, they did not.

I'm not sure, it only said museum in france, I'll try to find where in france for you, also I found this site with giant skulls from supposed giants:

Well, that didn't raise your eyebrows?"I have proof of pink unicorns! The skeleton is at some museum in France, but it is real!"Also, I could find the source for your horny photo - maybe I missed it?

On that anomaly site linked to, the bottom right caption mentions the skulls of some 'red haired giants' found, and the skull shown is next to a ruler and it is mentioned that it is "almost a foot long".I just measured my skull in the same aspect as the skull in the picture - 11 1/2 inches long!Maybe I'd best donate my skull to the Nevada Histroical society in Reno when I die so they can add another "giant" skull to their collection of "anomalies".....[This message has been edited by SLPx, 08-19-2003]

What do you think could have done that genetically?

---

Not sure, though the pictures I have seen lead me to believe that it is a localized mutation-driven event, as the 'horns' are typically just compacted keratinized cells, not actually bony horn.

Thats documented

Well, that is 'published', but that is not the same as documented. Documented is more like photos, accounts form 'officials' (police, etc.).Did you look up the sources?I did. They are not official archives. They are books. Books containing anecdotes.The only mention of giants is on that conspiracy page you linked to.

I copied and enhanced (upped the contrast and brightness, ran it through a 'sharpen' filter) the picture: Look at the orbit above the right eye. You can clearly see the abrupt difference in texture between the actual bone and whatever it was - clay? - that was used to attach the supposed horns.That is probably why the picture is shown in false color with low contrast.You've been snookered.

Odd... It worked when I previewed it....Anyway, it is easy to do - just copy and paste in a photo viewer and do what I did.It is glaringly obvious.[This message has been edited by SLPx, 08-19-2003]

Also, you can just cut and paste the URL and it works... Did for me, anyway...
