Found this interesting article:
https://phys.org/news/2017-04-tallness-herzegovinian-men-linked-gene.html
Summed up it says how certain hunter gatherers would have eaten meat from large prey animals, rich in protein etc, and grown to great size, and have stayed as such for long enough that it stuck to the gene pool.
From what I've heard from various sources, such a thing exists in nature where a population can have gigantism or dwarfism, depending on food supply/quality in their habitable area.
I heard on the Joe Rogan podcast how a population of lions became stranded on a large island with a population of buffalo, and ate that exclusively. After a couple of generations the lions became enormous with females being equal to typical mainland males, and their males being much larger.
