Poem
...Yes, I’m talking of homo sapiens, the last human species that still remains, when they burst out of their African home nothing ever would again be the same. You saw it plain with the neandertals, the older species just could not compete, modern humans pushed them out of their lands, and more than often with them they did sleep. Until the neandertals were absorbed, small bits of their genes survive to this day, the Denisovans probably went the same, since we still find some of their DNA. Would it not be the same for the giants? They had no culture, their language was plain, and biology was not on their side, on that last point you must let me explain. You see due to a giant’s nine-foot size their gestation took a rather long spell, fourteen months if the old tales are correct, can you imagine? It’ must’ve been hell! And like thyroid giants, or large dog breeds, the extra size brought health problems, short life, that’s why giants never filled up the Earth, they bred too slowly, the margins were tight. Meanwhile the new modern-human breed could pump out children in only nine months, even if their women lay with giants, which I can tell you happened more than once. Of course the children of such matings were smaller than their giant fathers in size, but often became great leaders themselves, combining great strength with a human mind. Besides the instances of cross-breeding, the modern human adapted quite quick, lived in larger numbers, and fought that way, giants had never really learned such tricks. As the generations ticked slowly on the giants’ numbers slowly trickled down, like neandertals they were just abosorbed, but survived long enough to win renown. You saw one in the Thardid Jimbo tales of Australia’s aboriginal lore, you heard of one in King Bran the Blessed, go ask the Welsh if you want to know more. Of course you know of famous Goliath, left the Taurus to join the Philistines, the last surviving member of his tribe, only for David to strike him down clean. The last of the giants, surprisingly, inhabited the American sphere, rhe Inca, Aztecs, and Maya knew them, some they worked with, others inside fear. The last pure-bred giant that we know of lived with the Aztecs, Tzilicatzin, fought against Cortez at Tenochtitlan, killed a dozen before shots did him in... CONCLUDES IN PART III.
