For millions of years, the original Bigfoot — a shaggy, bipedal ape twice the size of an adult human — roamed the forests of Southeast Asia. ⚠️
The mythical and elusive"Bigfoot" is a creature of legend, but for millions of years, the original Bigfoot — a shaggy, bipedal ape twice the size of an adult human — roamed the forests of Southeast Asia, before going extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Gigantopithecus blacki dwarfed the great apes that live today; it stood around 10 feet tall and weighed up to 595 lbs. . But as massive as Gigantopithecus was in life, fossils of the hefty primate have been few and hard to find — thousands of teeth and four partial jaws — leaving many questions about the extinct ape's evolutionary lineage and appearance.
"What we observed is the number of differences in the sequences," said lead study author Enrico Cappellini, an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen."We assume that the lower the number of differences, the closer the two species are related, and the later they diverged," Cappellini told Live Science.
