"For nearly 80 years, Gigantopithecus blackii has intrigued scientists, who have pieced together a description using nothing more than a handful of teeth and a set of jawbones."


Just hmmmmmm, and I though faith was about things NOT SEEN, so seems as the 'designers' are identified!!!!!

This article reads like it was timed with the release of the coming movie.

What a specimen of manhood that is! Looks as if the Goodyear blimp escaped its mourings.

I clicked your post to see the accompanying photo - one I knew would be insulting and hysterical. You do not disappoint. Thanks for the big morning smile.

"Guangxi province in southern China, where the Gigantopithecus fossils were found, is the same region where some believe the modern human race originated."

scientists, who have pieced together a description using nothing more than a handful of teeth and a set of jawbones.

If scientists had nothing but the foot bones of the Snowshoe Rabbit, how big would they estimate that beast to be? Six-Foot rabbit once stalked the Tundra!
