Part 4/14:
The Mysteries of Giants and Primates: Dinosaurs, Bigfoot, and Chimpanzees
The discussion then explores the richness of Earth's prehistoric and current fauna. The speaker recounts the possible existence of Gigantopithecus, an enormous, bipedal ape that might have stood eight feet tall, comparing it to encounters with gorillas, which once were legends themselves. Living relatively recent in human history, mountain gorillas were only discovered in the early 1900s, highlighting how much remains to be uncovered in the natural world.
