Answer to Question #98047 in Biology for Marlon Torres

Question

Anthropology Class

Some argue that Gigantopithecus survives today in the form of Bigfoot. What do you think of this suggestion? What does the evidence suggest? And why are we so fascinated by this concept?

Answer 1

Human fascination with the Bigfoot is seen in films like the Mighty Joe Young. This giant ape-like creature has generated many questions as to whether ape stories exist in reality. Despite the fact that evidence for the existence of Bigfoot is ambiguous, scientists have discovered fossils from very large apes, such as Gigantopithecus that lived in Southeast of Asia and China.
