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.

IMO, everytime the early humans encountered this ape, they most likely avoid it. Now modern humans? That's a different outcome for the giant ape.

The killer that destroyed Gigantopithecus was likely belonged to our species.

The first wave of sapiens men that out of Africa.

And their remains were found in China that dated about 120-80kya, so it does match the extinction timeline of Gigantopithecus.
