Probably twice the size of a modern gorilla, Gigantopithecus is the greatest great-ape that ever was. And for us fellow primates, there are some lessons to be learned in how it lived, and why it disappeared.
Produced for PBS Digital Studios.
Thanks to Julio Lacerda at 252MYA.com and Carlos Eulefi for both of their wonderful reconstructions of Gigantopithecus.

I just learned about them and I already miss them.
Hubblebub Lumbubwub I wish they were still alive too
For at least 100,000 years, humans existed at the same time as them. Can you imagine how crazy that must have been?
Hubblebub Lumbubwub even though it can probably crush ur skull
Hubblebub Lumbubwub Kinh Luis in the jungle boom was a gigantipithacus
@bishes be mad I agree with you. Gorillas won't even attack humans in the wild as long as you follow a few rules..Orangutans dont either. .So I dont think the humans were worried about these apes. I think they had other animal to worry more about

My suggestions for future episodes:
* The rise of grass and how it transformed ecosystems and animal evolution.
* Early crocodilians, which were surprisingly diverse.
* The rise of social insects like ants, wasps, and bees.
* Entelodonts and "hell pigs."
* Terror birds.
* Top five biggest mysteries of the history of life.
* Just for fun, a history of dinosaurs in movies (now we have another Jurassic Park film coming).

Ooooh yes I agree! Eons needs to do an episode on social insects!!! The genetics of them is really neat!
And how humans were domesticated by wheat.
A history of orangutans and gorilla species video would be interesting , with all evolutionary details before huminins or humanoids and later along side humans. We have so many videos and data of human evolution but ignored the great ape evolution as a whole with too much bias to human ancestors only
how many times she says gigantopithecus😂 we can make this a drinking game
I wish I could go back in time and see what the spot where I'm standing looked like millions or billions of years ago
Would be awesome. I'd probably be in the dangerous ocean.
Same man. I'd be underwater during this period as well (Florida)
I would love to do that, I wanna see the animals
it's most likely that where you were was underwater, or was some sort of forest, if you were in specific areas, a desert, grassland, or swamp
If you go back in time in the same position, you'd be standing in space. The entire solar system (the sun) is not stationary and is continously moving forward in space.

this fact that humans are so smart that we have gotten to the point of being able to know what lived before us is mind boggling

ChrisW very true
You know what's more mind boggling, we are the only being who can think about what we are thinking from 3rd person prospective. We can also imagine are own self in current state from 3rd person prospective.
@jdtrickster4 That as silly as saying praise electromagnetism, or gravity.
You know what can be mind blowing. That native people like aborigines tell stories about animals that seem impossible and then the fossil record shows they existed long, long ago and went extinct in the time of early man. So it's possible that the aboriginal ancestors actually encountered those animals and those stories were passed down for thousands of years without to much change.
It went extinct because it was eating C4, obviously.

I still find it mind blowing how we can figure out all this stuff out from just teeth and jaw fossils, but I love science for it.
its basically speculation and connecting the few dots archeology offers... basically they guess alot
That’s why every 50-100 years half of it’s proved wrong
Guess is a bad way of putting it. There is a backlog of patterns being drawn from. We are only really aware of the mistakes. The number of times these hypotheses are found to likely be correct is far more numerous.
@@oscard.lisboa6105 It's paleontology not archeology for starters, and teeth are probably the best source of information you can get. Their size and shape is actually linked to the size of the animal, their structure and remaining chemistry will tell you their eating habits and the kind of environement they lived in, their developement will give you an estimate of the age of the animal and more. Teeth are just a wealth of knowledge. Also as a side note for others, they're no such thing as "half of it gets proven wrong every 50-100 years" knowledge is gained, things are corrected, but it's actually pretty rare when things are discovered to be straight up wrong

I've thought for a long time that 'Big Foot, 'Yeti', et al., are just evolved australopithecines. It's been shown, as in the case of the recently discovered living coelacanth, that a gap in the fossil record doesn't prove a species went extinct.

Once again, being a giant sucks when massive climate change happens.
Leila Smith yet for some reason animals never seem to learn. BEING BIG SUCKS!
A good point about the dinosaurs thriving for so long. We humans are small compared to them and we appeared just 200k years ago, but the way we're going we might be on our way out. So size in this case tells us nothing, when we can be one of the species with shortest existence.
Leila Smith It’s an advantage when the climate is colder-large mammals maintain their body temperature than smaller animals.
Graham Strouse You're referring to square-cube relationship, but it has diminishing returns, of course; you will reach a size where your circulatory system is not performing optimally.
Ike Rants yes but consider this dinosaurs are awesome
I love the thumbnail. Tiger says “nope nope nope nope nope…”
And then humans showed up like stab stab fire burn. and no more gigantopithecus.

Scrolled comments 20s in to find the top Louie reference. 😁
The region that it lived in modern South East Asia. Despite having a reputation as being rain soaked and water logged many portions of the region are quite dry and the mountains produce C4 type plants. This fits in with the suspected habitat, and it was most likely a mountain/hill dwelling land creature that bordered on the wetlands. Fun fact, they existed at the same time as some of the earliest known human ancestors of the region.

Joe Vinski La Controverse de Valladolid est un livre dans lequel Jean-Claude Carrière parle de la situation des indiens d’Amérique en 1550. A l’époque, un grand débat avait eu lieu afin de savoir si les indiens étaient au même niveau que la race humaine ou est-ce qu’ils étaient des êtres inférieurs. Ce débat fait suite au massacre important des indiens d’Amérique que les Espagnols avaient effectué à l’époque.
Les événements contés dans La Controverse de Valladolid se déroulent dans un couvent. Dans une pièce, certaines personnes ont été réunies pour débattre de la situation et du statut qu’il faut donner aux indiens d’Amérique.
On retrouve le frère dominicain Bartolomé de Las Casas ainsi que l’historien et théologien Juan Ginès de Sépulvéda. D’autres personnalités importantes comme le légat du pape, envoyé de Rome, et le supérieur du couvent sont présentes. Il y’a deux camps. Celui de ceux qui considèrent que les indiens d’Amérique ont une âme et celui de ceux qui soutiennent que les indiens d’Amérique sont inférieurs à la race humaine. Il est à noter que cette rencontre a eu lieu à la demande de Charles Quint, qui était à l’époque l’empereur des deux mondes, et du Pape Jules III.
Le frère dominicain Bartolomé de Las Casas défend la théorie selon laquelle les indiens d’Amérique étaient des créatures de Dieu. Selon lui, ce sont des êtres comme les espagnols et possèdent des âmes comme tous les êtres humains. De l’autre côté, l’historien et théologien Juan Ginès de Sépulvéda n’est pas du tout de cet avis. Selon lui, les indiens d’Amérique ne sont pas des descendants d’Adam et Eve. Il avait même écrit un livre où il défend sa position. La publication de ce livre dépend de l’issue du débat de la controverse. En effet, si à la fin de la réunion, les indiens d’Amérique ne sont pas considérés comme des enfants de Dieu, le livre sera publié. Dans le cas contraire, il ne pourra pas être publié.
Dans la Controverse de Valladolid, chacun des participants prend la parole pour défendre sa position. C’est Las casas qui intervient le premier. Il parle de la situation des indiens d’Amérique après la colonisation de leurs terres par les espagnols. Il évoque le mauvais traitement qui leur est infligé par les colons. D’après ce qu’il a vu, beaucoup d’atrocités sont commises sur le peuple amérindien.
Vient le tour de Sepùlveda qui défend sa position contre les indiens d’Amérique. Dans son discours, il affirme que ces indiens sont des créatures que Dieu ne reconnaît pas. Pour lui, s’il y’a la guerre, c’est uniquement par la volonté de Dieu. Donc à ses yeux, il s’agit d’une lutte légitime.
Les deux personnages ont donc soutenu des thèses opposées. Les arguments évoqués par l’un réfutent les arguments de l’autre. Un fait intéressant dans ce livre est qu’on retrouve une analyse vraiment approfondie de certains thèmes phares. Les indiens étant au centre de cette controverse, tout ce qui leur tourne autour est analysé. On débat de leurs religions, des dieux qu’ils adorent. On aborde aussi leurs potentialités artistiques, les types de maisons dans lesquels ils vivent. C’est en quelque sorte une autre manière de découvrir les indiens d’Amérique à travers le livre de Jean Claude Carrière. Ceci permet à tout le monde de se faire une idée sur ce peuple un peu mal connu.
Si les deux antagonistes avaient des avis différents, ils s’entendaient au moins sur un fait : toutes les âmes doivent être sauvées. Le salut des âmes était très important et primordial aussi bien pour Las Casas que Sépulvéda.
Un moment important de la controverse est celui où des indiens sont introduits dans la pièce. Ils sont au nombre de quatre. On retrouve une famille de trois personnes (le père, la mère et l’enfant) et un jongleur. Ils sont examinés sous toutes les coutures. On les fait passer par différents tests. Comme s’ils étaient des animaux, on les sent et on les touche . Il est demandé au jongleur de jongler. Des bouffons sont même introduits dans la pièce afin de voir quel est le degré d’humour de ces êtres. Durant tout les temps que les quatre indiens sont présents dans la pièce, on a cherché à voir s’ils ressemblaient véritablement aux êtres humains.
La décision devait revenir au légat du Pape. C’est lui qui devait juger si oui ou non les indiens d’Amérique étaient des enfants de Dieu. Il a été envoyé uniquement pour ce but. Les arguments de Las Casas et de Sepùlveda sont étudiés par le légat du Pape. L’intervention des indiens d’Amérique au cours de la controverse, permit au légat du Pape de se faire une idée sur la manière dont ces indiens vivent.
Avant que le légat du Pape ne prenne une décision, il a écouté les deux partis. Las Casas ayant été lui en Inde a pu donner des exemples de ce qui se passait réellement en Inde. Exemples à l’appui, il a montré de manière très réelle, les atrocités commises sur le peuple des indiens. Il a réussi à démystifier les différentes rumeurs que les gens balançaient sur le peuple indien sans qu’ils ne se soient rendus une seule fois en Inde. Sépulvéda quant à lui, n’ayant pas des exemples concrets s’appuie sur la force qu’il avait d’argumenter et de faire de la rhétorique. Très calme, il défendait sa position. L’un de ses arguments les plus poignants est celui où il montra que les indiens étaient des sauvages parce qu’ils faisaient des sacrifices humains.
Si Sépulvéda était très calme et menait de façon posée son argumentation, Las Casas lui s’emportait de temps en temps. Il coupait parfois la parole à Sépulvéda pour donner des contre-exemples. Durant la controverse, deux styles très différents se sont opposés.
Finalement, le légat du Pape donna sa décision. Au nom du Pape ainsi que celui de toute l’Eglise, il déclara que les indiens étaient des créatures divines qui possédaient une âme. Ainsi, il est du même avis que Bartolomé de Las Casas. Les indiens doivent alors être mieux traités et leurs conditions doivent s’améliorer. Mais le légat du Pape sait aussi que cette décision aura d’énormes répercussions sur le plan économique. En effet, les indiens représentaient pour le peuple espagnol une main d’œuvre intéressante et peu coûteuse. Vu que les indiens ne peuvent plus être réduits en esclavage, lé légat du pape demande alors à ce que les colons utilisent les esclaves africains. Les africains étaient considérés comme ayant moins d’humanité que les indiens. Ceci permettra aux colons d’avoir toujours une main-d’œuvre à exploiter. Las Casas n’était pas de cet avis. Mais lorsqu’il voulut intervenir une fois encore, on lui signifia que ce n’était pas le sujet de la controverse de Valladolid.

Doesn't it suck more that Deinonychus was portrayed as Velociraptors? I mean, Velociraptor isn't particularly interesting but Deinonychus is badass.

Davis Hatler I mean yeah but u know how much they got wrong so no it’s not that amazing. It probably looked so much different
Its evening more amazing that all that evidence could've been wiped out by Chinese people.....
A bunch of theories that people get paid to come up with
@@c4call the tooth science is indisputable and proven. The part that's iffy is assuming you know when it died out when there are so few fossils to begin with. Maybe it just didn't leave a fossil that anyone has found yet for the last 100,000 years
Scientists discovered ALL OF THIS through a TOOTH!! amazing ^_^!
Actually also with a full mandible.
The Gigantopithecus blacki is the boss. The orangutan is when u unlock him as a playable character
Explains it's diet, greens and fruit. Shows images hunting a tiger..
It may have been self defense.
Or defending a youngling
@Nate Smith lol
clickbait.
If it wanted to I’m pretty sure that giant could eat a tiger😂

What could go wrong?
BionicleSaurus screw what goes wrong. One animal escaping confined space would only cause minimal damage.
No cloning without DNA.
Clone it? I've seen that movie. If and when the ape escapes it'll climb the first skyscraper it sees. Mark my words lol
Anthony Price king jr lol
I like how they not only teach you the content, they teach you how the content was discovered on this channel, and that teaches you a lot about the anthropological scientific process. It also installs trust and provides evidence for those who might be doubtful.
"What does an 1100 pound ape eat?"
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say whatever the hell it wants
Trust me I’ve played ark they’re pretty dangerous .
Hahaha same
it just bugs me that they've made the giganto a goofy bigfoot instead of a menacing giant gorilla
I remember fighting one of this fellas in sekiro
Lmao
I punched one in Ark as well
The last Gigantopithecus was caught on camera in the Indian jungle where it lived quite comfortably amongst the ruins of an ancient city. It really tried very hard to adapt and become like us. It could talk and sing reasonably well, and acquired the nickname Louie - strangely it sounded a lot like Christopher Walken 😉 Sadly it vanished under a heap of collapsing ruins. It's not known if it survived it's first rendezvous with a juvenile homo sapiens.
The Jungle Book lmao

"What Happened to the World's Greatest Ape?"
I'm right here brah
Your not a gigantopithicus 🤔
@@DankestDestroyer1098 maybe he is?
@@DankestDestroyer1098 what if, he is
Gigantopithecus was also the likely ancestor of King Kong and his species, according to behind the scenes info for the 2005 remake
Sweet! Well done! I was aware of this ape but I knew nothing about it until now. Was that a guest appearance of a moose about half way through?
It seems that it is a moose! The chocolate variety is my personal favorite.
Practical Paranoia yes. Like da ones in da UP.

It’s king Lou
I wish if they could clone it back
Me too... If it was contained
Imagine if humans came from these apes instead of the apes we came from.. we would all look like steroid users 😂
Magic avocado im agree with yoy
I’m sure we already can
So it could terrorize New York and run off causing harm nooope
I had a problem with one of the illustrations of Gigantopithecus, the one where it is standing there eating foliage. The background looks like a modern day rubber plantation in South East Asia. (I live in Malaysia so it struck me as being obviously familiar) Just look at how uniformly spaced the trees are, and it just sticks out as being planned, not the way a jungle or forest would look like.
It’s just wanted to be like youuuu and walk like you and talk like youuuuu
Chill Gigantopithecus louii
You know it's truuuue.
Someone like meeee
I can see AI robots making a video like this in the future, except instead of that huge ape, it’s about us
"What did that medium-sized ape ate ?" - "Mostly garbage"
Hey buddy I found your tinfoil hat. And i must say. It suits you well
So, basically what happened to Louie?
Like who got the reference. ;)
I do boi
Hey, Eons team, I have an important question:
At 0:45, you show an image of some teeth, presumably from a dig site.
I was wondering if you had the source for that, because I have an unidentified piece of bone that looks Identical to the one in the image, and I'd love to know what it is.
Thanks!
👀👀
i hope you havent just been sitting on your couch with them on your mantle waiting for a response lol, get in contact with a paleontologist.
Looks like a herbivore tooth, most likely bovine
Bruh I hate how there are myths and legends about stuffs that animals horns or teeth can cure u or make u live forever
Totally agree, it takes so much diversity and knowledge away
King kong has joined the chat
I would love to see an episode about the Ice Age megafauna of Australia! Diprotodon, Thylacoleo, ect.
About 3 meters tall and weight over 500 pounds, this prehistoric primate is twice bigger, stronger and heavier than the modern silverback gorilla. Scientists identified this new-found prehistoric primate as Gigantopithecus, the biggest extinct prehistoric ape in the world and the ancestors of the only great apes left in Asia, the modern orangutans 🦍
500 kilograms lil over 1000 pounds
@@js6618 Yeah. You right
@@js6618 not just lil, super lil
These videos are always amazing. Todays audio and music was especially spot on.
William Sims do you know the name of the music?
No the audio is horrible you can hear her mouth moving too much, mic too close or sensitive its very off-putting
Where are all those Ark Gamers AT???
The last of Gigantopithecus disappeared about 100,000 years ago...or so you thought!!! SURPRISE BIGFOOT!!!!!!!
Unless you found handprints along with the footprints: No, it's not. With the long arms all its relatives have it would support itself mostly with its hands while walking, using one for support when working with the other. Standing on only its legs for longer periods of time would be extremely exhausting.
If anything bigfoot would be a large hominid, not an ape.
SKy_the_Thunder I think you may have missed the point of the joke.
I may.
SKy_the_Thunder it was just that when it stands up it looks very similar to the modern day depiction of Bigfoot
Not really, no.
one thing they forgot to say was that a super volcano erupted in that area causing all big creatures to die out in those areas because of ash.
Yeah the Toba Supervolcano on Sumatra.
Makes you wonder if pockets of them survived long enough to interact with humans and that's where our yeti and Bigfoot legends come from....
I don't know if yeti and Bigfoot are just a legend some people said they saw Bigfoot
*Thank you!* I've been reading about Giganthopitecus since I was a kid and I've always wanted to know about it. Honestly, I first thought of it as an oversized gorilla, but now I know! You're doing amazing work.
I'd really love to see something about late Permian flora and fauna, for some reason I don't feel like I know as much about them as with other periods.
Such an underrated channel. Please do a video on fungi evolution. Mycology is my absolute favorite
Wow never think this beast was in vietnam in the past, all i see every day just dog and cat here :v
Giga ape = bigfoot : IT LIVESSS
I was seriously thinking the same. Lol
Oh the contrary the video explains thoroughly how it went extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago lol
When I say those habitats I meant mountainous and snowy areas not forests
"and for us fellow primates"
i bet a lot of Americans just gasped because of that information
Oh my god! king kong!
also, i would love to see a king kong movie where he looks like an orangutan.
Erik Lervold I was just thinking about that. Then it would make a lot more since when he climbs the Empire State Building.
king louie in the live action jungle book from a year or two ago looked like a giant orangutan
Are you even trying? Can you think critically? Search on this website 'gorilla climbing tree' and you will see gorillas climbing. That's like saying human beings can't climb because we walk on the ground and don't have opposable toes on our feet or prehensile tails. Orangutans are heavy as hell, too
Nope. They found King Louis!
I can see that (edited) -smart- guy
A video on ammonite would be awesome, though all your videos are!
Greatest ape that ever lived?
Me: *takes out gun and laughs in human* “I don’t think so”
Lol
I don't think we are the greatest.
@@Davey-Boyd if you’re the only one left alive, you’re the greatest.
@@GoldenSpike300 So, put 5 kids and a mass child murderer in a locked room. The murderer is the last one alive, therefore according to you he is the greatest. Just because other Hominids died out and we didn't does not make us any better just for surviving. A lot of it could of been luck. And, we nearly didn't survive ourselves. Our species almost died out - estimates say we got down to only 1,000 to 10,000 individuals at one point.
@@Davey-Boyd if you are the only one in that room, by definition, you are the greatest. I’m sorry what other animal on earth has completely taken dominion over the earth in such a short period of time? What other animal has come to understand and mimic the laws that govern the universe? What other animal has mastered farming or hunting to the extent that we have? What other animal has mastered flight like we have? What other animal has master swimming or diving like us? What other animal has mastered travel like we have? What other animal has the ability to understand their effect on the world? What other animal could destroy the earth within days if they wanted to? What other animal has explored space and landed on the moon? What other animal has moved mountains? What other animal has overcame disasters, famine and diseases like we had? What other animal has harness the power of the sun to the extent that we have? What other animal has mastered destruction like we have? What other animal has mastered thought like we have? What other animal has mastered creation like we have? What other animal understands life like we do? What other animal has thought about existence like we have? What other animal is able to communicate within seconds to another animal across the earth? If you think Humans are not the greatest animals that have ever existed, then you have no idea what greatness is.
