The Rise and Fall of Gigantopithecus Blacki

🎬 New Documentary-Style Introduction

When people imagine the largest ape to ever walk the Earth, fictional giants like King Kong or King Louie often come to mind. But those creatures belong to the world of cinema, not science.
What if the real world once had a primate so massive that it rivaled legends—yet was entirely real?

Hidden in the fossil record lies evidence of the largest primate ever known to science. Not a monster from myth, but a true giant that lived in prehistoric Asia during the Ice Age.
Its name was Gigantopithecus blacki.

Standing far taller and heavier than any modern ape, this colossal primate dominated ancient forests before mysteriously vanishing from the Earth. Through fossils, scientific research, and modern discoveries, we can begin to piece together its story—how it lived, what it ate, and why it ultimately went extinct.

This is the true story of Gigantopithecus blacki—
the greatest primate to have ever existed.
