It could have resembled the modern-day gorilla, but researchers prefer the theory saying that it resembled its closest relative – the orangutan.A very large species of apes, whose history has been known from a few bones and teeth found in India.
However, there are still a great many questions out there which require satisfactory explanation. The created models of Gigantopithecus clearly show the resemblance to the ape of the Pongo genus. If your word is good enough to put someone away for life or even make the state kill him/her then how come it´s useless here? Yet at the same time murderers go away for life do to witnesses and if they word are good enough to take a mans life (in some cases) then how come thousands of people being seen as nut cases when saying they saw Bigfoot?
Gigantopithecus coexisted with other hominids, but what distinguished it from them was its gigantic size.Most experts believe that Gigantopithecus walked on 4 legs, similarly to modern-day chimpanzees or gorillas. Paleontologists believe Gigantopithecus inhabited areas of Asia and went extinct around 300,000 years ago.
Great article, though.Copyright © 2020 HubPages Inc. and respective owners.
lol! For one thing, there is a huge gap in time between the assumed die off of Gigantopithecus and the estimated window when the Bering Land Bridge would have been negotiable.Gigantopithecus would have had to survive this time period, for which we have no fossil record.
Are they more closely related to humans or apes? By signing up for this email, you are agreeing to news, offers, and information from Encyclopaedia Britannica.Be on the lookout for your Britannica newsletter to get trusted stories delivered right to your inbox.
Until 1958 3 jaws and over 1300 teeth were found, mostly in stockrooms for Chinese medications, and in caves.Not all remains are dated the same period – the fossils from Hubei Province seem to be the oldest among all Chinese finds (other remains come from Guangxi and Sichuan). Comments are not for promoting your articles or other sites.The bigfoot giganto theory seems plausible. Species: G. blacki, G. bilaspurensis, G. giganteus. In Europe, people heard about mythical (?) I try to look at this stuff from a realistic perspective, but I have to admit I want to believe!I enjoyed all this. Get exclusive access to content from our 1768 First Edition with your subscription. The incisors didn’t amaze with their size and they resembled a chisel. The favored food supply of G. blacki, fruits of the forest, was gone. Gigantopithecus was a genus of ape that existed from 1 to 5 million years ago in what is today the countries of China and India.The fossil record suggests that the Gigantopithecus species were the largest apes that ever lived.
Way back in 1935 an anthropologist named Ralph von Koenigswald discovered remnants of a genus of giant prehistoric ape in a Hong Kong apothecary shop. Humans have a hard time believing in what they cannot see for themselves sure, but it´s also more or less a fact today that some sources in the western governments seem to wanna hide anything that does not fit their world view so? Good comments all around.Thanks Phil.
Are Yeti or This enormous ape lived in the regions of modern-day China, India, and Vietnam, probably between 9 million and 100 thousand years ago. If only 1 single one is Bigfoot then yes he does indeed exist, it is that simple really!Thanks Nell.

Gigantopithecus is considered to be a sister genus of Pongo (the genus that contains living orangutans) in the subfamily Ponginae of the family Hominidae. The molars were short and flat, but covered with extremely strong tooth enamel – it’s a pity that we don’t have it, we wouldn’t have to visit a dentist The premolars looked similar, and the canines were neither too sharp, nor peaked. Therefore, it is considered to have been herbivorous.The jaw was massive and deep.
The Gigantopithecus is a genus of extinct apes and is the largest of all the primates (including all species of monkeys, gorillas, chimpanzees, orang-utans, and apes) that ever walked the earth. Gigantopithecus, (Gigantopithecus blacki), genus of large extinct apes represented by a single species, Gigantopithecus blacki, which lived during the Pleistocene Epoch (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) in southern China. Every single one? Molars and some jaws have been retrieved from the store with traditional medications. Other creatures switched to eating savannah grasses, leaves, and roots, but for some reason G. blacki did not make the change.

I know I know some think that people do tend to see something else and "make it into" a Bigfoot themselves, but come on...! I think you're right on! Both are large primates, both (possibly) bipedal. Gigantopithecus blacki. Had it … Gigantopithecus could have dealt easily with fiber crops, similar to bamboo. Probably it was terrestrial and herbivorous (fed mostly on bamboo and leaves).Not only Sherpa people talk about the Yeti – a large animal resembling a cross-bred between an ape and human, living in the Himalayas.Officially it is recognized that these creatures are only the creations of fanatics and adherents of conspiracy theories.However, there are trails that may wipe the smiles off sceptics’ faces.
