Just means one of the clickbait articles used some old "clickbait" for flair amongst their newer bullshit photoshops.

The NYT article never uses the word "giant" or mentions the skeletons being unusually tall. Just that the male skulls were "much larger than any race to inhabit america today" but the "presumably" female skulls were "smaller". It sounds more like sensationalism over perhaps slightly large skulls perhaps because they were covered in "baked clay"?
