Gigantopithecus


Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape that was from about one million years ago to three hundred thousand years. Gigantopithecus in the same time frame and geographical location as several hominid species.
They are also known as the largest ape to ever live. The largest fossil ever found was to be 9.8 feet tall and weighing up to 1,200 lbs.  The first Gigantopithecus remains described by an anthropologist were found in 1935 by Ralph von Koenigswald in an apothecary shop. Fossilized teeth and bones are often ground into powder and used in some branches of traditional Chinese medicine.
 

Now you ask what this has to do with Bigfoot well I shall share that with you.

There is thought to been creatures that have been extinct. For example the sealacamp thought to live over 4 million years ago. These fish are known to be 7 foot long with hard ruff scales. A group of fisherman fishing off in the Indian Ocean caught one of these fish. the science field was socked to found out it was a sealacamp.
      This makes me think that it only adapted to the changes of the world weather and growth of human kind. This was found in 1938.


Now why it is not possible for the gigantopithecus to do the same thing, change for its surrounding. be able to change color for the area it lives, brown, black, reddish brown, white, etc. They are known to me flesh eaters in a few reports I have read. Bigfoot are known to eat meat as well as plants ( berries, leaves, twigs).

My thoughts are Bigfoot might be a descendant from the gigantopithecus that has evolved over time to adapt to the changes of time.
