@@jout738 possibly but not real because g blacki is from Asia and big foot is from South America. This would mean they are HIGHLY intelligent creatures and bipedal. The problem with being intelligent is that they need protein which they likely didn’t have that much of.
Interesting video. I cant help thinking that the model of Gigantopithecus at 4.47mins, looks like impressions you see of Big Foot, the Yeti and other similar crypto creatures.
@@bettyswallocks6411 Well you cant help but notice the similarities between Gigantopithecus and descriptions of cryptocreatures like Big Foot and the Yeti. This has been pointed out before. Perhaps Gigantopithecus, or one of it descendents have survived into modern times in remote areas. I know there is no evidence of large hominds reaching north America. Though they could have crossed the Bering Straits, in the past, when sea levels were much lower. But it could be one explanation. Which does seem plausible.
"I know there is no evidence of large hominds reaching north America". Except for centuries of sightings on every continent except Antarctica... + photos, videos, vocalizations, noxious odors, footprints, scat, large branch breaks( 8-10" high... in the middle of nowhere), trees bent to the ground and/or made into lean-tos (again out in the middle of nowhere).

@@TheEggmaniacno, man, it was Wookies! Okay, no, seriously. I have wondered that myself. And if they existed at least into early humanity's rise, then I can see how at the very least stories about it were passed down for generations until it became embedded in the subconscious. They may not have crossed the land bridge from Asia to America with early humans, but I'd be willing to bet at least the stories of them did
Great vid. Loving the pronunciations omg! 😄 Funny how sone people say bigfoot in the US is this magnificent beast, yet there's been no record of a bone ever found on the continent ever! So obviously bigfoot is an interdimensional being...right...? 😉Hope your corner of the world is healthier & happier 💪❤️
Chinese obsession- do You know that the Chinese and the Japanese the mogoloid race is the most intelligent race? We whites are second and You can guess which race is the less clever one.
I remember studying Gigantopithecus going back to my graduate days. It was so much easier in those days with a relatively straightforward progression of Ramapithecines, Australopithecines, Homo erectus, Homo Habilis and Neanderthals to keep track of. And then all hell broke loose and don't get me started about Homo floresiensis! As to the fate of Gigantopithecus my money is on climate and habitat change in Asia during the Miocene, a smoking gun theory that goes as far back as the mid-1970's that saw a drying period with the shrinking of jungle habitats in accordance with advancing savannah in Africa. These same changes led to pockets of jungle refugia in Africa that may have been the homes and incubators of our ancient bipedal ancestors. The fun part is one new fossil discovery can rewrite all of these theories!
I bet they would of made great ferrymen or safari guides if we'd had enough bananas, yams, bell peppers, carrots, and apples; and in our future boating on the great canals without cars, like the kroxigors helped build in warhammer lizardman culture, and obeying the skinks?
It might have been a shift to a Wet/Dry seasonal paradigm from a four season one in the area, larger animals such as giganto would have had more issues with heavier flooding compared to their smaller cousins who could stay drier there. Disease and food issues coming from areas that would be more difficult to traverse for weeks at a time.
You would think they'd be intelligent enough to relocate though, It's also weird that there's so few bones found so far. It could have just been during a major event like a volcanic erruption or meteor striking the earth which impacted plant growth for a year and they all starved in a single year. We will never know for sure.

@martinboyle9163 Dude, do you really think that "gorgeous" is a relevant and appropriate way to describe Kayleigh here?? Her recent post, to which you referred, in no way suggested that she would appreciate you describing her physical appearance. On the contrary, to reference Kayleigh's recent heartfelt post about how hurtful it can be to get comments about her physical appearance, I must say that your supposed expression of empathy, but then followed by you yourself describing her as "gorgeous", is extraordinarily inappropriate and disingenuous. With all due respect to you, I recommend that you actually pay attention and show sincere respect yourself for what she said. Stick to your other more suitable adjectives, such as "intelligent" and "awesome" - which are both accurate and appropriate. You are 100% right about those!
@@williamyalen6167 Whatever you say dude. I figure if she has a problem with anything I say, she can fight her own battles. I don't even care to read any more into what you're saying. I haven't met a woman yet that felt disrespected by my use of gorgeous and intelligent in the same sentence. My girl sure as hell doesn't, and she's Gen-Z woke snowflake and all that. So I think you may need to take all that somewhere else because I don't care.
@martinboyle9163 Interesting how you went on at length about (and repeated!) how much you really "don't care". And doubled-down about how right you were to dismiss and ignore Kayleigh's expressed distress about comments referring to her physical appearance. Neither Kayleigh nor your so-called "woke snowflake girl" should doubt the depth of your thoughtful respect for them as intelligent women. That's enough on this - not worth any more wasted time. Bye.
Kayleigh, your channel has become so awesome. You have essentially every aspect locked down. It's been so awesome to see how you have evolved the show and much it has developed. I'm so happy for you and love your art and work! This was a great episode. I've always been fascinated with Gigantopithicus, despite there being such limited fossils. It makes me wonder if maybe we're just getting it totally wrong.
Gigantopithecus by itself is an amazing find, but the breakdown you gave is even more enlightening. Thank you Kayleigh, your always amazing..... I will be waiting to see and hear what you come up wit h next.
It is intriguing to imagine that early humans may have seen these giant apes prior to their extinction Kayleigh. I could not imagine encountering a live one either. Gorillas are intimidating enough at their current size, strength, and appearance. Interesting if it could ever be confirmed that we have "genetic memory", especially passed down from early humans who may have encountered these massive creatures. This might explain the belief in a Yeti or Sasquatch that many people still have around the World. The depictions of Gigantopithecus certainly makes me think of Sasquatch or a Yeti as these creatures are claimed to be 7 to 10 feet in height with similar fur and color to the depiction of Gigantopithecus. This creature was even remembered by the Salish Sasquits indigenous people in Canada from where the name Sasquatch is believed to be derived from and also the Algonquin people with their Wendigo or Witiko. The Western Air Defense Sector, Washington state Air National Guard even adopted Bigfoot (Sasquatch) as their mascot.
Thank you for a thorough and easy-to-understand summary of the research! This is super interesting and I always appreciate the way you present anthropological data
Glad to finally watch this video. I've been meaning to watch since it aired, but I've been crazy busy with studies. I love your content, and you deserve more love!
Must have been sad to be the last of a species. He or she would have had their family group. Then one by one those individuals would have died leaving the last one. The last of it's kind in the world. Before disappearing forever.
I hope one day we find more than teeth and a few jaws, it'd be cool to be able to see what they really looked like, cause they probably weren't just giant orangutans, although they are related.
WOW ! ! ! What a massively high-tech introduction opening you have on this video presentation . . . as I got mesmerized with all of that electro-mechanical graphics . . . I felt like I was on an inter-stellar journey ! WOW ! ! ! Kayleigh ... you are now soaring like STAR through Space and Time ! Thank You, Kayleigh for sharing so much of your efforts ! Going APE over you ! 😉👍
Kayleigh, Thank you for sharing with us your research, you have great content. Some of us are so old we move like sloths now and it's great to still learn about the world we've lived in. Wishing you good health and happiness in 2024.
Thank you for the informative video. I would be curious to know what you think regarding how scientists extrapolate so much of what a species looked like from so little evidence, i.e. jawbone fragments and teeth?
It would take a lot of energy to scavenge even limbs of such a huge creature, so if they didn't live in caves, I would think that we are unlikely to find any substantial remains in them. At some point, someone will find a specimen in a river bend sediment or a sinkhole, but until then we're probably out of luck.
@Kayleigh Are you a historian? Or do other people write your scripts? Just an honest question. I really enjoy the content and great delivery regardless.
2 Million YEARS!!!?? That's a long time! To evolve, adapt and whatever else, who knows? Thanks for this Kayleigh! Maybe with new discoveries we can evaluate what there brain capacity was?
omg that's what I just said!!!! maybe some of these animals just aren't extinct. one guy in Alaska was grabbed by some humanoid creature and his friend heard him scream as the creature carried him into the ocean. the only evidence was the creatures footprints in the sand and they never saw the guys friend again. Mind you, we've only discovered 3% of the ocean. there's so much more out there 😲
Since no bones or bone fragments other than teeth and jaws have been found, we can confidently conclude that G. blacki was in fact a hominid of average size but with exaggerated mandibles; ergo, a distant ancestor of the Hapsburgs.
And here is another amazing video from Keyleigh . Thank you , it was awesome. I relally learned something. And I get to hear that amazing dutch accent again. That one of the things I like with Keyleighs videoes. You learn something importent. And I get hear an amazing ducth accent
@@GeoffryGifari Thats a fiction! A lie! Still, even assuming you're right, how does your story conclude, to explain the mystery disappearance of the world's Greatest Great Ape??
Did they go extinct or did the move elsewhere? As to Vietnam and Thailand, about 1000 Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, Australian, Japanese, and ANZAC troops officially reported interactions with similar sized and looking creatures during the hostilities between 1938 and 1975. The French did not allow sightings to be written. So who knows?
"Did they go extinct or did they move elsewhere? " I made pretty much the same comment on another site. "Did they metaphorically move on, or did they just...move on?" I saw something about possible remains of G. Blacki in Indonesia also. Sadly I didn't bookmark that one. The Vietnam and Thailand site can be found googling Gigantopithecus Blacki and Britannica. That's knocking on the door of Australia where they have their alleged Yowie sightings.
That is true, but for a general "body plan" there is a limit due to biomechanical forces, sectional density, etc. For example, beyond a certain size, human joints would have to be designed differently and shedding excess heat would become problematic.
well, at some point somethi g would have to evolve a different body structure. so by the time a species get to a certain size. it starts becoming so different that it wont be regarded as the ssme species anymore. when somethi g gets bigger. the foundation it needs, needs to grow faster than the body grows. for example, if you would use a growth ray on an ant to make ot the size of a german shepherd, its would instantly collapse as its skeleton would not be able to hold the weight
Gigantopithecus blacki was a prehistoric ape that lived during the Pleistocene epoch, roughly between 2 million and 100,000 years ago. Fossil remains of Gigantopithecus have been primarily found in cave deposits in parts of Southeast Asia, particularly in China. To find Gigantopithecus fossils, you typically wouldn't need to dig extremely deep. Many of the fossils discovered so far have been found in limestone caves or associated sediment deposits, often within a few meters or tens of meters below the surface. However, the exact depth can vary depending on the specific geological conditions of the site
Kayleigh, Good to see you, and with an update about another species in our family tree! I'm not a member, so I know I'll be ignored :P But I'll comment anyway. In most cases of a large mammal going instinct, we find that somehow homo sapiens killed them off. Is it possible that in this instance, homo sapiens didn't do it? I certainly hope so!
If only jaws and teeth, but never any skeletons of Gigantopithecus Blacki were found, how can we know that they weren't simply normal sized big mouths 😄

we really don't know why so many hominids went extinct but a creature that size surely had a huge food requirement.
They were delicious
Not to mention wear and tear on ankles, hips, knees, etc.
They propably evolved to the bigfoot, if their that large and have so big food consumption needs.
@@kaseyboles30 wait they were bipedal right? If so, that would make them a hominin.

With mammals, bigger is not always better. The giant panda may be next on the extinction list. Interesting video, Kayleigh.
Since no bones or bone fragments other than teeth and jaws have been found, we can confidently conclude that G. blacki was in fact a hominid of average size but with exaggerated mandibles; ergo, a distant ancestor of the Hapsburgs.

"Gigantopithecus" is now the #1 Kayleigh-pronounced word, overtaking "Heidelbergensis" 🤣
Wouldn't the size of various dinosaurs tend to suggest that there is no obvious limit to the size that a species can reach? Awesome video and topic!!!
That is true, but for a general "body plan" there is a limit due to biomechanical forces, sectional density, etc. For example, beyond a certain size, human joints would have to be designed differently and shedding excess heat would become problematic.
well, at some point somethi g would have to evolve a different body structure. so by the time a species get to a certain size. it starts becoming so different that it wont be regarded as the ssme species anymore. when somethi g gets bigger. the foundation it needs, needs to grow faster than the body grows. for example, if you would use a growth ray on an ant to make ot the size of a german shepherd, its would instantly collapse as its skeleton would not be able to hold the weight
@@theflyingdutchguy9870 Yes, there's a point at which so much has changed it's not a primate anymore.
@@itsapittie not really. every descendents from primates is still a primate. primate is a monophyletic group.
Let's not forget that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Evidently .
We know...
Just out of curiosity, did you take the vaccine and booster? I’m just wondering if you got Covid after the vaccination or if you were unvaccinated?
Gigantopithecus blacki was a prehistoric ape that lived during the Pleistocene epoch, roughly between 2 million and 100,000 years ago. Fossil remains of Gigantopithecus have been primarily found in cave deposits in parts of Southeast Asia, particularly in China.
To find Gigantopithecus fossils, you typically wouldn't need to dig extremely deep. Many of the fossils discovered so far have been found in limestone caves or associated sediment deposits, often within a few meters or tens of meters below the surface. However, the exact depth can vary depending on the specific geological conditions of the site
Well done...
Dignified men of sophistication & culture here we gather yet again with utmost appreciation of biology. Cheers!
Never stop looking to the past. If you do not know the past, you are bound to repeat it.
Kayleigh,
Good to see you, and with an update about another species in our family tree! I'm not a member, so I know I'll be ignored :P But I'll comment anyway. In most cases of a large mammal going instinct, we find that somehow homo sapiens killed them off. Is it possible that in this instance, homo sapiens didn't do it? I certainly hope so!
I hope we find more evidence of them!
That dude is roaming around northwest America, he didn't fade away 😅
lol
Exactly!
Exactly the first thought that came to my mind too. lol
According to Bigfoot "researchers", they are everywhere. They just can't find them.
It's my cousin.
If only jaws and teeth, but never any skeletons of Gigantopithecus Blacki were found, how can we know that they weren't simply normal sized big mouths 😄
