I've seen some documentaries on the subject over the years. How much food is required daily? Would the larger skull allow for a larger brain? When you drain the main vein, how much hang time? How fast could you run? How big of a log would you leave? Would farting and sneezing knock over a tree?
Simple questions.

I think the big turd question just destroyed Bigfoot. :eek:

I've watched some science docs on this issue. When you double your size, you quadruple your mass. A person would be around 800 pounds in weight.
Things that would happen if a person woke up one morning and discovered a second growth spurt.
First, no clothing would fit. Birthday suit attire only.
Second, doorways would be a struggle to pass through. Flexibility would be needed to squeeze through the door frame.
Next, walking outside in public will cause a stir. Internet sensation immediately. Federal agents and military will be called once the viral news broke. Law enforcement not sure what to do.
After that, hunger will require a trip to the local fast food drive-thru or walk-thru.
Finally, the world beats a path to your front door.
The free stuff starts to roll in.
1) The fashion industry will compete for the endorsement of their clothing line to fit you.
Italian threads, Nike, etc...
2) Food and drink companies vying for endorsements.
3) Car manufacturers designing a vehicle to fit the new height and weight standards.
4) Home builders designing a house to fit the new height standards.
Just to name a few.

You champion great armies demoralizing your foes. Until some shepherd with a sling comes along.
Excellent series btw.

Humans don't scale up too well.

One possible aspect of a larger brain, quadruple the synapses and hemisphere connections, should amplify the intelligence immensely.
Science and medicine could achieve this.

Did you never see "The Wrath of Kahn"?

Did you never see "The Wrath of Kahn"?
Not in the 53 years of being on planet marble. Is it a good movie?
I know what you're implying. Eugenics created supermen who believed they were gods. That's a prime example of typical Hollywood drama storylines to tell an interesting story. 1960s thinking.
In a good model, science and medicine would go hand in hand with balanced education and decent understanding of community right and wrong. The object is to bring about the good as best as possible in intent. It will take massive planning and cooperation.
Humans have increased size over the centuries. The skeletons have indicated this. You can extrapolate further development naturally.
The real question is how many times I have seen ST:II TWOK?

That movie, based on an episode in the original series of course, required only a little extrapolation of reality. The Nazis were a good example of a culture believing their race was more greatly evolved and therefore they were superior and destined to rule. Why not give evolution a helping hand?

You cant have a 12 foot tall man unless he can sing Putting on the Ritz

Is this about the WNBA?

A 12-foot-tall couple has a baby. Weight? Length? Pregnancy time?
Guesses.

If you haven’t seen “wrath of khan”, watch the original series episode called “space seed”.
Then, watch “wrath of khan”.

There is speculation that alien/human cross breeding or genetic splicing has been underway for a while by secret government agencies. I'm not buying that one.

Pets.
For a kitty cat, I would think the Tiger be perfect. It being the largest cat. It would be great as a lap kitty.
For a teddy bear, I would think a Kodiak would be perfect. Grizzly Adams has been outmatched.
For a riding animal, I would choose the African elephant.

If you see evidence of dna shared with "aliens" remember the Nephilim.
