Tossing in Giganto was a stretch. We agree to disagree.

If science can exhume a skull and look at the skull and decide where all the muscle attachment points are? And then recreate the face, the lips, the eyes, the nose and the mouth with precision?

 

Then they can look at a living creature and reverse engineer its skeleton. Muscle and bone and how they interact is a two way street.

 

There is nothing “Giganto” about it. It’s Patty.

 

So be it.

No one knows what Gigantopithecus blacki looked like. G.H.R. von Koenigswald found several large teeth in a Hong Kong apothecary being sold as 'dragon bones'. Not exactly boots on dirt field work. Koenigswald did not do much with the dragon teeth. Currently the score is 2,000 fossilized teeth and 4 jawbones. No skulls, no fragments of skulls. Modern forensic sculptors do impressive work because they work off of skulls, partial skulls. No cranial fossils for Giganto means no visual image.

Serious study has been done on teeth to determine food availability over time for the knuckle draggers. Serious fruit eater and then adapting to fibrous foods like bark and twigs. Odd that there is no fossil record for a large animal that roamed around China / SE Asia for 2 million years. Pesky porcupines  really ate up those bones before the soil  decomposed what remained.

Modern researchers have put in about a decade of research on the teeth and jaw bones.  It is believed that the closest living relative is the Bornean orangutan. Orangutan <--> Sasquatch is a no go. Combining bones from different animals is a bad idea.

 

Anyone remember the giant cyclops heads?  They were elephant skulls.
