The fossil record suggests that individuals of the species ''Gigantopithecus blacki'' were the largest known apes that ever lived, standing up to , and weighing up to .〔 ==Fossils== The first ''Gigantopithecus'' remains described by an anthropologist were found in 1935 by Ralph von Koenigswald in an apothecary shop. Fossilized teeth and bones are often ground into powder and used in some branches of traditional Chinese medicine. Von Koenigswald named the theorized species ''Gigantopithecus''. Since then, relatively few fossils of ''Gigantopithecus'' have been recovered. Aside from the molars recovered in Chinese traditional medicine shops, Liucheng Cave in Liuzhou, China, has produced numerous ''Gigantopithecus blacki'' teeth, as well as several jawbones.〔 Other sites yielding significant finds were in Vietnam and India.〔〔 These finds suggest that the range of ''Gigantopithecus'' was in southeast Asia. In 1955, 47 ''G. blacki'' teeth were found among a shipment of "dragon bones" (also called "oracle bones") in China. Tracing these teeth to their source resulted in the recovery of more teeth and a rather complete large mandible. By 1958, three mandibles and more than 1,300 teeth had been recovered. ''Gigantopithecus'' remains have come from sites in Hubei, Guangxi, and Sichuan, from warehouses for Chinese medicinal products, as well as from cave deposits. Not all Chinese remains have been dated to the same time period, and the fossils in Hubei appear to be of a later date than elsewhere in China. The Hubei teeth are also larger. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gigantopithecus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
