I’m pretty well convinced of a literal race of literal giants. The physical, anthropological, and mythical evidence of such a race/group is overwhelming and spans the entire planet and many thousands of years. My personal theory is that they are the remainders/survivors of the antediluvians, the same ones the Great Flood was intended for:
Gen 6:
There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward
They had spread around the world and subjugated groups of humans on every continent. Their identity as “fallen angels” or simply a once elevated but since “fallen” group of humans (perhaps/likely with a mastery of genetic modification) remains unclear.
Let's assume for the sake of conversation, that any technologies that exist now, have existed at some other time in history. If we can edit our genes now, then is it possible to say that, maybe the supposed Atlanteans could have as well?
Yes, and hell, we’ve done selective breeding, which is a simple form of genetic engineering, for 10,000+ years according to evidence from dogs. A strictly enforced caste system (like we would have seen in ancient India and other places) could achieve something similar, potentially.
My dad was extremely tall (to us) and red headed, from his mother’s side. Nothing wrong with his teeth, and was actually missing fingers due to an accident (started out with five). But there was always something about the red hair and his height, bc it was hidden (surprise! You have a red head!) and happened only once in a generation. Family we never knew kept in contact with us, just due to red hair and height. It was always weird- bc there was something everyone was connecting to or looking for. Same for the one of my four kids that have the red hair, but she hit the trifecta with hair, blood type, and green eyes like my dad. (She’s not tall. None of the women in our family are very tall. Very short- and those genes are strong.)
Anyway- it has always been fascinating to me.
I do not know why height or hair color should be a thing that connects people specifically….. but it does.. like a trigger.

I have a half nephew who is 6 foot 11 inches. Does that count? lol

Historicaly....Giants had/have 2 rows of teeth, reddish hair, six fingers and toes and they like to eat humans.
