→Gigantopithecus Teeth

The Gigantopithecus' teeth were and still are a huge necessity to figuring out these giant primates. It is a guess that the Gigantopithecus' giant jaw would be proportionate to it's giant body. Their [[dental arcade]] happens to be showing a definite U-shape. This is a shared physical attribute that is known among all of the [[Great Apes]]. [http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/5473] This U-shape found in the Great Apes happens to differ from the human [[dental arcade]] which has a more rounded and parabolic shape. [http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/5473] If one was to compare the human [[mandible]] to the Gigantopithecus [[mandible]] or even the gorilla's [[mandible]], they would come to find that the Gigantopithecus has a massive lower jaw. This gives scientists every reason to believe that the Gigantopithecus was huge in size.

[http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/5473] This U-shape found in the Great Apes happens to differ from the human [[dental arcade]] which has a more rounded and parabolic shape. This supports the creationists view because this means that there couldn't be a way for human beings to descend from the Great Apes.

Scientists were able to discover the different kinds of food that the Gigantopithecus ate through the observation of their fossilized teeth. They could see that the Gigantopithecus Blacki (a different species of Gigantopithecus), had a varied diet that consisted of different fruits and grasses.
