Angus MacaSkull, who is the history’s tallest man weighed about 600lbs at 7’10. He was pretty substantial even for somebody so tall. Somebody at 6’0 would weigh about 240lbs.

Your math is correct, but your mechanics, perhaps deficient. As creatures grow larger in stature, weight increases disproportionately. Leg bones area would only grow as the square of height, so their legs would have to be thicker, just as an elephant’s legs are disproportionately thicker than a reindeer’s, even more so with a spider. I suppose they must have been quite spindly more like Kareem Abdul Jabbar than Refrigerator Perry.

That’s why I’m saying that the weight of this creature has to be wrong. He’s a spindle that can be easily broken.
I’m betting that he’s at least 700lbs.

If this can someday be solved with, you know, actual evidence they will find that an epidemic killed off these apes, probably an STD.

Of course they went extinct. One monkey is working while the others are sitting around on the porch or hanging out in the neighborhood. That is only sustainable for so long.

By measuring the size they can extrapolate the complete adult. They have been doing this for 200 years. It’s basic biology...................
