Robert Wadlow, the tallest verified human, with his 5 ft 11+1⁄2 in (182 cm) father

This is a list of the tallest people, verified by Guinness World Records or other reliable sources.

According to Guinness World Records, Robert Wadlow of the United States (1918–1940) was the tallest person in recorded history, measuring 272 cm (8 ft 11 in) at the time of his death.

There are reports about even taller people but most claims are unverified or erroneous. Since antiquity, discoveries have been reported of gigantic human skeletons. Originally thought to belong to mythical giants, these bones were later identified as the exaggerated remains of prehistoric animals, usually whales or elephants.[1][2][3][4][5] Regular reports in American newspapers in the 18th and 19th centuries of giant human skeletons[6][7][8] may have inspired the case of the "petrified" Cardiff Giant, an archaeological hoax.[7][9][10]

Unknown  | Unknown  | 1097.3 cm  | 36 ft  | 650 BC-640 AD Carthaginians uncovered two this size. An earthquake in Cimmorian Bosphorus uncovered one more[183] | Unknown
Unknown  | Italy | 1010 cm  | 33 ft  | Several skeletons, some reportedly 30 and 33 ft (9.1 and 10.1 m) tall, found in Sicily.[184] In the Middle Ages, they were mistaken for the bones of cyclops or giants who settled in caves after the Flood.[1] Later studies have shown that these bones belong to Elephas (Palaeoloxodon) antiquus, Elephas mnaidriensis, and Elephas falconeri, so-called dwarf elephants from the Middle and Late Pleistocene.[1][5] | Middle to Late Pleistocene. Originally thought to be from the Classical Antiquity.
Unknown  | India | 960 cm  | 31.5 ft  | A skeleton 31.5 ft (9.6 m) long, found in the river bank in the Jubbulpore district on August 8, 1934.[185] Initially believed to be a giant human, it was identified as a giant non-human ape soon after unearthing.[186] | Unknown
Teutobochus (Theutobochus)  | France | 760 cm  | 25 ft  | A left part of a huge skeleton was discovered in a sand quarry in Dauphiné in 1613.[187] These bones were thought to belong to an ancient giant king 24–25 ft (7.3–7.6 m) tall.[184][188] Later studies have shown that it is a Late Miocene proboscidean Deinotherium or close relative.[2][189] The existence of a large tombstone from early reports has not been confirmed, the coins found along with the bones belong to Marseille Republic and were found a few years before the discovery of the skeleton.[3] | Late Miocene. Originally thought to be from 105 BC.[2][187]
Unknown  | United States | 610 cm  | 20 ft  | A giant human skeleton from Tennessee, found in 1845. It was estimated at 18 ft (5.5 m) but the living man was believed to be "at least" 20 ft (6.1 m) tall. However, even in 1845 it was reported that the discovery was not confirmed.[190] This skeleton as well as an 8 ft 9 in (2.67 m) tall specimen found in the Rocky Mountains in 1838, is very likely the remains of an extinct animal.[7] | Unknown
Giant of Utica  | Tunisia | 590 cm  | 19.4 ft  | A gigantic remains including teeth discovered near Utica by Saint Augustine in 412 AD and later by Thomas d'Arcos [ca] in 1630. The bones crumbled to dust during the extraction, but two enormous teeth were saved. It was assumed that this skeleton and similar specimens from the nearby localities are the remains of the giants, Hercules or Adam.[3] However, already in 1631, Peiresc suggested that these remains belong to a marine animal or an elephant. More recent research indicates that this giant's preserved upper molar is most likely belongs to a Pleistocene relative of the modern African elephant.[3] | Pleistocene. Originally thought to be a 600-year-old giant who died 4000 years before his remains were found.[3]
Unknown  | Switzerland | 580 cm  | 19 ft  | A giant skeleton found near Lucerne in 1577.[191] In 1786, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach concluded that these remains actually belong to a mammoth.[192] | Pleistocene. Originally thought to be from the antediluvian times.
Unknown  | Iran | 500 cm  | 16 ft 5 in  | In an interview he said, “This means that Goliath and his fellow warriors from the mythical city of Gath could really have been more than 3 meters tall.” “This also means that many different people over a long period of time could have encountered real existing giants and passed down stories about them to their descendants. We’ll definitely have to review of conception of history as it is and accept that many legends just might be real!”[129] | Unknown
Patagon | Argentina | 450 cm  | 15 ft  | From the time of Magellan's expeditions until the end of the 18th century, European explorers reported about the Patagonians 2.7 and 3.0 m (9 and 10 ft) tall, and even an individual about 4 or 4.5 m (13 or 15 ft) tall captured by Magellan's crewmen near the Santa Cruz River (Argentina).[193] In reality, Patagonians usually did not exceed 1.8 m (6 ft) in height. A 1615 report about a grave with bones of the giants in Puerto Deseado could have been initiated by fossil finds.[193] | c. 1520[194]
