China's scientists just confirmed something that rewrites everything we thought we knew about prehistoric primates. The Gigantopithecus blacki was real. Three meters tall. Three hundred kilograms. And it walked the forests of southern China for over two million years. What Chinese researchers discovered in 22 caves, 157 radiometric datings and a 1.9-million-year-old tooth changes the story of life on Earth as we knew it.
📱 What you'll learn in this video:
Why China holds the entire fossil record of the largest primate that ever lived
How researchers extracted proteins from a 1.9-million-year-old tooth and what they revealed
The precise extinction window discovered in 2024 and what really killed this giant
What Western science still does not know, and why China is leading the answers
