But among these uniqueness, God also creates 'special men' which are slightly different from humans in general. One of them is the 'giant man' who has higher than others.

In this article, we will trace the 5 people belonging to 'giants', and not just a figment, they do exist. Curious? Read the reviews below.

John William "Bud" Rogan is the second-highest human in history and the highest breed in Africa. Born in Tennessee in 1868, Rogan experienced a sudden growth spurt at the age of 13 and was always growing rapidly. Rogan's extreme size causes him to suffer severe ankylosis, a condition that makes the joint stiff with inflammation. This made it very difficult for him to put his load on his feet. Initially, he could get around with the help of crutches, but in 1882 Rogan could not stand or walk at all. Always the center of attention, he was often pulled around with his own goat carts. Rogan finds it hard to work because of his condition, but he can still make a living by selling pictures of himself at the local train station.

Born in Alton, Illinois in 1918, he suffered from the hypertrophy of the pituitary gland, causing him to produce human growth hormone in large quantities. This condition causes Wadlow's height to increase throughout his life. By the time he was eight years old, he was 6 feet 2 and weighed 169 lbs (77 kg). his body was so large that a special table had to be built for him at school. Wadlow suffered from a number of illnesses due to his unusual condition. He had trouble moving around his campus because his bones were brittle and needed to wear braces at the ends. he died while sleeping on July 15, 1940. He was only 22 years old. More than 30,000 people attended Wadlow's funeral and twelve pallbearers were required to carry his large corpse.
