The history of the Gigantopithecus all started when the smallest size of jawbones were found in 1968 located in Northern India. The fossils that all have been found, prove that the Gigantopithecus is the largest genus of ape.

When the scientists had made the Gigantopithecus' models, they had to pick, no doubt the largest primates known. This included the giant extinct baboon: Theropithecus oswaldi, and the gorilla. While they were creating the head for the model, they based their estimations off of the orangutan.[http://www.wynja.com/arch/gigantopithecus.html] Scientists did this because evolutionarily, the Gigantopithecus and the orangutan are on the same line and supposedly come from a common ancestor called Sivapithecus.
