Chapter 1804 Prehistoric Giant Ape

This sudden change surprised both Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. But they don't know what to do now.

'Dad, what kind of monster is this? Is it an enemy or a friend? What should we do? ’ Feifei looked at Dad in surprise and said.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the big monster standing next to them. He didn't know that this big monster was going to help them! Or is it going to come together with the gorilla to attack both of them.

'Whether it's an enemy or a friend, you'll know later. After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he quickly pulled Feifei and hid in the bushes on one side.

Besides, Qu Yuqian and Tiantian who were sitting in the spaceship suddenly saw another big monster appear. And it helped Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei get out of the siege. Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei have already hid in the bushes, and they are temporarily relieved.

But this new big monster didn't chase Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei, it walked directly towards the mountain gorilla.

Obviously, this new big monster doesn't have much interest in Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei, the two humanoid monsters. It seems to be interested in this strong mountain gorilla.

'Well, it's not here to attack us, it's here to help us. ’ When Feifei saw this new big monster, he didn’t pay attention to the two of them, but went directly to the mountain gorilla, he was very happy.

Zhao Zhongyao was of course very happy when he saw the situation. After all, the two of them had nothing to worry about now.

Besides, when this mountain gorilla saw this new big monster, it felt a little frightened, and couldn't help but took a few steps back. After all, the new big monster was not inferior to the mountain gorilla in terms of size. More importantly, this new big monster seemed to be taller than the mountain gorilla in terms of height. After all, this new big monster is a fully erect monster. It's not like a mountain gorilla, it's just a big monster walking on the ground.

From the outside, these two big monsters are evenly matched. When the mountain gorilla saw this big monster, it seemed a little scared, so it took a few steps back. But it didn't escape. Obviously, it is not really very afraid of this new big monster.

When these two monsters met, there was a posture of disobeying each other, so the two big monsters fought in an open space in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.

Two big monsters fought in this open space. Their huge bodies knocked down several small trees next to them. Some low bushes were directly trampled down by them.

The fight between these two big monsters was extremely fierce, that is because both Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were wearing spacesuits, they could only watch the two big monsters fighting in front of them like watching a silent movie.

————

Only at this time, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei could clearly see what the new big monster looked like.

Feifei feels that this big monster is like a kind of ape. So he looked at Dad and asked, 'Dad, what kind of animal is this new monster? Is it an ape. '

Of course Zhao Zhongyao also saw what this new big monster looked like, he nodded and said,'This kind of big monster should be a prehistoric giant ape. '

'Prehistoric ape. ’ Feifei was a little surprised.

‘Yes, this is a huge prehistoric great ape, which should be the ancestor of our humans. Zhao Zhongyao said so.

As soon as Feifei heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he joked, 'So, this ancient ape is Monkey King. In this forest, there really is Monkey King! '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, 'If you want to say it is Monkey King, let it be! However, I feel that this is a kind of giant ancient ape before the appearance of humans on earth. A kind of Homo sapiens among us humans may have evolved from this huge ancient ape. '

After hearing what Dad said, Feifei smiled and said, 'Dad, then this ancient ape can be regarded as the ancestor of our humans. Then Dad, let’s talk about some knowledge of our ancestors! '

After hearing what Feifei said, Zhao Zhongyao said,'Okay! Then let me talk about the knowledge about prehistoric apes! '

Next, Zhao Zhongyao told Feifei some knowledge about prehistoric great apes.

Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of apes that lived in China, India, and Vietnam about 1 million to 300,000 years ago, in the same time frame and geographical location as several hominids.

Gigantopithecus is a ground-dwelling ape similar to the orangutan, and is likely the largest ape in the world, standing up to 3m tall and weighing 500kg. The morphological characteristics of the giant ape are between apes and humans. The giant ape has strong canine teeth and huge white teeth. The size of the teeth is about 5 times larger than that of modern humans. It bites a bamboo as thick as a bowl, just like ours. Breaking off a root toothpick is generally easy.

Able to stand on its hind legs and reach great heights, the mighty great ape roars deafeningly. It is the largest ape ever to exist on earth. The great ape lives in the forested mountains of China.

Gigantopithecus is an important species of higher fossil primates, and it is the largest class of living and fossil primates that have been discovered. They are probably the largest apes in the world, and their average weight is estimated to exceed 200kg. According to Unearthed fossil records show that Gigantopithecus can stand 3m high and weigh 545kg. Their morphological characteristics are intermediate between apes and humans.

According to research by some scientists, the giant ape has a huge and strong skull, a huge and strong torso, and longer and thicker limb bones than modern humans.

Great apes probably do -- walk upright to some degree. Gigantopithecus had strong canines and huge molars with thick enamel layers, high crowns and low cusps.

Gigantopithecus has strong canines and huge white teeth with thick enamel layers, high crowns and short cusps, but it does not eat meat. According to the chemical analysis of its teeth, it can be deduced that the great ape is a pure vegetarian. The favorite food is bamboo, and occasionally eats leaves and fruits. According to a new study by Canadian scientists, there was a kind of great ape living in the primeval forests of Southeast Asia (including the southern part of China) about 1 million years ago.

The understanding of great apes comes from the tooth fossils of great apes discovered by archaeologists. So far, there are eight places where great ape fossils have been found in the world. There are only two places outside China: In 1967, a great ape lower collar bone was found in Doupatan, Himachal Pradesh, northern India. A tooth fossil that may be a great ape was found in a cave in Pingjia. There are six in China, except for the Gaoping Keel Cave in Jianshi, Hubei, and the other five are in Guangxi, namely Daxin, Liucheng, Wuming, Bama, and Tiandong. It can be said that Guangxi is the hometown of great apes. The ape fossils found in Liucheng are the most abundant and can be called the crown of the world.

The great ape is also a very interesting species. Gigantopithecus was named in 1935 by the Dutchman Konniva. He bought a large number of mammal tooth fossils from a Chinese medicine store in China, including a huge lower white tooth of a higher primate, which he believed represented a new genus and species, which he named Gigantopithecus Kongii. He speculated that this great ape fossil was produced in South my country, and the stratigraphic age was probably in the middle of the Pleistocene. In 1954, Wei Dunrui, who was originally from West Germany and became an American citizen, believed that the giant ape had obvious human nature based on the other two teeth (a total of three teeth before and after) that Conniva later bought, so he advocated changing the name of the giant ape to "Giant", and put forward the theory of the origin of human giants.

He deduced that "giants" may be the ancestors of human beings, and then gradually became smaller in size, and developed into modern humans through Javan Homo erectus and Peking Man. Later, Kong Nihua went to a traditional Chinese medicine shop in Nanyang and collected five teeth that might have belonged to a great ape. In 1952, he published a paper based on the eight teeth he had obtained successively, abandoning his original view, and instead agreed that the great ape was indeed a giant, but believed that it was a special offshoot of the human evolutionary system, not our direct ancestor. Anthropologists from all over the world have different opinions on whether the great ape is a human or an ape, and they don't know anything about the geological age, distribution area and evolution process of the great ape. Great apes have thus become an important issue in the study of human origins.

According to scientific research and analysis, this behemoth had lived with early humans for about 1 million years, and it was not extinct until 100,000 years ago. According to scientists' research, and compared with modern taxonomy, this great ape should be a descendant of Sivapithecus, a close relative of Asian orangutans, and belongs to apes, but it may not be able to climb trees because of its huge size and excessive weight. Based on this standard, the experts used the skull of Sivapithecus as a model, and then zoomed in on the body of the gorilla as a reference. Considering that the giant ape, like the Asian orangutan, lives in the tropical and subtropical jungles of Yanzhou, they adopted The brown and sparse body hair of the Asian orangutan was used as the body hair of the great ape, thus restoring the original appearance of the great ape.

Experts say that despite its huge size, the giant ape is a mild-tempered animal, because it can be seen from its big jaw that it is an absolute "vegetarian". It is said that the staple food of the great apes is the same as the panda, bamboo, and occasionally leaves, fruits, etc., because of their gentle temperament, they will not attack other animals and early humans. Therefore, early humans were also very lucky to live with such a behemoth without being threatened.

According to the analysis of relevant experts, humanoid animals like giant apes generally eat a lot, have a long breeding period, and have poor adaptability to environmental changes. Originally, the life of the great apes was relatively hard. The narrow diet structure made their lives often threatened. Coupled with the emergence of the ice age, the climate of the entire northern hemisphere was violently turbulent many times. In this way, the living environment of the great apes was greatly damaged. . Other researchers believe that the body of the great ape is getting bigger and bigger, but the development of the skull and human brain is very slow, and finally died out because it could not adapt to the environment.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei, and then told some knowledge about prehistoric giant apes. After Feifei heard this, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, Dad, so the new big monster we see now is a prehistoric giant ape. '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said,'It should be a prehistoric giant ape. However, this is a prehistoric great ape on Mars. This prehistoric great ape may be larger than the prehistoric great apes on our planet. '

‘Dad, can this prehistoric great ape beat this mountain gorilla? Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked.

For Feifei, he felt that if this prehistoric giant ape could defeat this mountain gorilla, then he and his father would not be in danger. If this prehistoric great ape can't beat this mountain gorilla, then both of them will still be in danger.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said,'It should be possible to beat this mountain gorilla. We don't have to worry about anything, the great apes are our ancestors. Our human ancestors must have been very powerful, and they must have been able to defeat this mountain gorilla. '

After hearing what his father said, Feifei also showed a gratified smile. It felt like they were safe now.

It’s just that after Zhao Zhongyao said such a sentence, he looked back at the huge boulder not far away and said, ‘Feifei, I don’t think we should watch these two big monsters fight now. Or quickly climb to the top of that boulder! As long as we climb to that boulder, we can get the amethyst gem. '

When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei also said happily, "Okay, let's hurry up!"

Go get the amethyst gem. When we get the amethyst gem, we won't be afraid of any monsters. '

‘That’s right, let’s grab the amethyst gem as soon as these two big monsters are fighting. As long as we have amethyst gems in our hands, we don't have to be afraid of any big monsters. Zhao Zhongyao said the same.

After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he stood up. He turned around, looked at the boulder in front of him, and thought about how to climb up.

‘Okay, let’s hurry to get the amethyst gem. ’ After Feifei finished speaking, she stood up.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei are now walking from this bush to that boulder together.

This is a very tall boulder, about forty or fifty meters high, however. The surroundings of this boulder are not steep rock walls, but a slope. Although this slope is also very steep. But it is still possible for humans to climb up.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked up to this boulder, and then the two observed the terrain. Zhao Zhongyao saw that the slope on the right side of the boulder was relatively small. So, he led Feifei to climb up from the right side of the boulder.

Fortunately, everything went well. It took Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei ten minutes to climb to the top of this boulder.

However, when the two of them climbed to the top of the boulder, suddenly, another unexpected situation appeared.
