Because of this and genetic research, calling each group a different species is considered controversial at best. Things like a single eye or multiple limbs are becoming more and more of an ethnic commonality than a sign of species.
Genetics and Reproduction

History
How this evolutionary chain lasted this long is still being researched. It has been know and speculated during Earth's history that Humanity and Giants interacted. Before any confirmation (fossils, settlements, etc.) there was a working theory called the Giant-human contact theory.
Archaeological records show that the Giants had a period of mutation that led to the many ethnicities found today. Historically records show how these cultures evolved with and from one another. Like with most races, wars, disasters and other things happened. What is unusual is that these things are more far apart. It is either believed that Giants are either more easy going or just develop more slowly.
A point of interest and speculation is when did Giants and Humans stopped interacting. Everybody has a theory but nothing is concrete. Many believe the mythical Paul Bunyan was the last Giant to visit Earth before modern times. On a sidenote, There have been evidence of giants living outside of
In the future, Gianthome and Earth opened a trade route. Also when size altering tech appears and becomes refines, Giants begin to live outside of Gianthome.
