Largest great ape to ever live likely went extinct because of climate change, new study says
This handout artist impression released by Southern Cross University on January 9, 2024, shows a group of the giant ape Gigantopithecus blacki within a forest scene in Southern China. Thought to be the largest primate to ever exist on Earth, the three metre tall giant apes, Gigantopithecus blacki, a very distant human ancestor that once roamed the karts plains of southern China, went extinct before humans arrived in the region with few clues to why. Now new evidence uncovered by a team of Chinese, Australian and US researchers published in 'Nature', demonstrates beyond doubt that the largest primate to walk the earth went extinct between 295,000 and 215,000 years ago, as it was unable to adapt its food preferences and behaviours, vulnerable to the changing climate which sealed its fate.
