If people were chihuahuas, wouldn't they be the size of a chihuahua - seeing they ARE chihuahuas? Same thing if people were the size of chihuahuas. Coyotes might be 25 feet tall in comparison, if we scaled down feet to... well, paws. To be honest, the only close scenario I can envision where we're talking about 25 feet of coyote would be if all canines were enlarged to the point where chihuahuas were the size of humans.
And at that point I'd even worry about the chihuahua!
Coyotes average at 23 inches tall, and I think most people have similar size dogs or smaller. So really it be 6'-8' feral humans. I think the punk fashion would be much more popular.
i imagine that's much how it felt back when there were multiple human species running around, and clearly including the fact that a lot of people will find them rougishly handsome judging by our genetic record..
and the fun part? we were probably the strange feral version, since other human species exited africa before we did. Neanderthals lived in europe waaay before homo sapiens did and were thus a fair bit better evolved for the climate.
I assume this is a reference to the various ethnic groups in the Congo Basin who are notably shorter on average than most humans, such as the Batwa and Bambuti. The different groups are often collectively referred to as "Pygmy peoples", but I don't feel super great about the way that sounds
