Some 330,000 years ago, giant apes the size of elephants roamed the forests of southern China. Their massive teeth—once sold as a “dragon tooth” by a Hong Kong apothecary—gnawed tough leaves and devoured fruit. Then suddenly, while other primates were thriving, these supersized orangutan-like creatures vanished with almost no trace.
maybe if there were 8+ billion of those apes they’d still be alive. but they really sucked at forcing the environment to adapt to them so they went extinct.
Just more population that can’t adapt, lol.
