Listen "Gigantopithecus: Largest Ape Ever Lived"
Episode Synopsis
From two teeth sold as dragon bones in a Hong Kong drugstore to the largest known primate, this episode reconstructs a giant’s life. We explore its colossal size, enamel armor, and a diet revealed by dental calculus and ancient proteins—tying it to orangutans—and uncover why porcupines may have gnawed away its bones as climates shifted and forests vanished.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
