Daily Mail are doing a soft-reveal on giants. There is a lot of consistency about how giants are described in world-wide legends. Bright red hair, very white skin, six fingers on each hand and six toes. Two sets of teeth, eat humans and laugh as they do.

They drop a 33 in the article in the part at the end denying it. Signals the denial is false IMO.
"Orton, 33, told the Daily Mail that he is fascinated by paranormal activity so started collating tales from his fellow soldiers - including that of the giant of Kandahar.
Coming from a military family, he recalled hearing the tale as a teenager, even though he never served in Afghanistan.
But he does not share Marzulli's conviction.
'For me, personally, the story just doesn't really pass the sniff test,' Orton said."
I wonder if the double sets of teeth and six digits might be an artefact of imperfect hybridisation. The Biblical account in Genesis 6:4 states that
"when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
While it isn't clear who the sons of God they are explicitely described as hybrids. And there never seem to be any references to giants having giant children. They may not be able to reproduce directly giant to giantess. Plausibly all of their children are merely normal humans with a tendency towards red hair and pale skin. Which may account for their rarity today.
Normally a species reproduces among their own kind, grow old and die. But immortality stories float about giants. If they were in effect immortal but only produced by a rare hybrid mating, that would account for their extreme scarcity today. Also if their own children were effectively normal humans, which I am sure comes up in giant stories.
What animal or type of human would cause such a hybrid? It should be identifiable.
