As'salamu Alaikum Everyone,
Allah Almighty intended to put Adam, peace be upon him, and all of the human race that will come from him on earth:
"Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not." (The Noble Quran, 2:30)"Please visit this article:
www.answering-christianity.com/adam.htm (Was Adam created on earth or in Heaven?)We know the following proven scientific facts:
1- Earth used to be 10% of what its current size is.
2- The smaller the planet, the lesser its gravity, and the taller the creatures on it will be. Even Astronauts who spent long time living in space gain height, because the gravity up there in the edge of space is lesser than what it is down here on earth. I've seen this
from NASA on TV before. You an also visit:

The oldest records we know about man are 10 to 20 THOUSAND years old only. So there were many other ADAMS and their lines that existed here on earth.
Note: I am not saying that Prophet Adam, peace be upon him, came 20 thousand years ago. He could be the absolute first MANKIND ever put foot on earth, 3.6 billion years ago. Or there could've been other human-lines before him. Only Allah Almighty Alone Knows. Certainly, the Angels were concerned about creating humans here on earth as the Noble Verse above says.
You see earth is 4.6 billion years old. It took earth to cool down to a point where mammals can exist on it 800 million years. This puts life as we know it on earth
for approximately 3.8 billion years. And again, earth used to be only 10% in size to what it is now.
4- We know that LARGE BODIES (ex: dinosaurs) existed on earth up to even our modern history (up to only a few million years ago). So why should it surprise anyone that people that were as tall as 90 feet tall existed on earth in the past billions of years?

I hope this helps, Insha'Allah.
Take care,
