There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I severely doubt the validity of the theory that migrating H.erectus killed off the Gigantopithecus, in fact, they would've been more terrified of the giant ape and most fossils of H.erectus around the Old World do not indicate advanced tool improvising (they only possessed easily-breakable wooden spears, or, in the case of China, bamboo spears.) IMO, everytime the early humans encountered this ape, they would most likely avoid it. Now modern humans? That's a different outcome for the giant ape.
