Why do humans cannot grow as giant where dinosaurs and some plants in prehistoric times can?

Is it related to food? Or genetics or climate or something else? Thank you!

We could grow to the size of an elegant but there is no selective pressure to do so. Once we evolved the brains a spear requires a lot less energy than a larger body. Also being on two legs makes it so you can’t grow as tall. The spine just can’t take it. If we did we would either need to grow tails and begin leaning forward or revert back to all fours
