I also believe that back in that time, 12,000 years ago, people were much taller and lived longer. For example, prophet Nooh (Noah) (pbuh) lived 950 years. First prophet Adam (pbuh) was extremely taller than today's people.
With time, humans started getting old quickly, and also neing shorter. May be because thousands of years ago, there were no smoke, pollution, chemicals, cars, not many people and there were lots of trees and fresh food. With time, population exploded, more houses, more burning, more cutting trees, more pollution, thus the natural resources became less pure.

It's largely due to our life style.
You see, back in the day, people didn't have TV.'s or internet. They actually had to work hard and in harsh conditions. There was no McDonald's they could drive to for a quarter-pounder with cheese. They worked harder, excersized more, and ate healthier.
Also, pollution wasn't as much of an issue. No, carbon monoxide, oil spills, nuclear waste, or any related things. The lived in a physically healthier environment. So there were lest things killing them.
Here's a link from people who know about " long life "

When we decided we were superior to God and started genetically engineering our food.
Our food isn't pure, like it used to be. In the bible God tells us he's put all the medicine we need in the earth.
See the link below for how we've chosen to slap God's nurturing hand away and polute ourselves.

very tall people... the "giants" of those days we call nephilim, which were the offspring of angels/demons and human. (like a mixed race). this is a reason that god sent the flood, to clear the world of them.

Studies.........you know, facts.....have shown that we are increasingly growing older and taller. What you say is totally unfounded.
