The mystery ape of Pleistocene Asia
@article{Ciochon2009TheMA, title={The mystery ape of Pleistocene Asia}, author={Russell L. Ciochon}, journal={Nature}, year={2009}, volume={459}, pages={910-911} }
Fossil finds of early humans in southeast Asia may actually be the remains of an unknown ape. Russell Ciochon says that many palaeoanthropologists — including himself — have been mistaken.

Gigantopithecus blacki exhibits a relatively high degree of sexual dimorphism, implying a high level of male-male competition, but the relatively small canines in both sexes suggest that these teeth were not important in agonistic behaviors.

Results confirm the presence of Meganthropus as a Pleistocene Indonesian hominid distinct from Pongo, Gigantopithecus and Homo, and reveal that Dubois’s H. erectus paratype molars from 1891 are not hominin (human lineage), but instead are more likely to belong to Meganthrops.

It is believed that the Longgupo mandible represents the relic survival of a Late Miocene ape lineage into a period just prior to the dispersal of hominids into southeastern Asia, with some female dental features that parallel the hominid condition.

The results indicate that MEC-2 links the mechanosensory channel and the microtubule cytoskeleton of the touch receptors of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, providing the basis for a mechanism of mechanosensation whereby microtubules displacement leads to channel opening.
