Giant gorilla was once a human neighbor

King Kong, you have some competition.

A 10-foot-tall, 1,200-pound gorilla dwelled among early humans, says a new report by a Canadian researcher.

Jack Rink of Canada's McMaster University concludes that the largest primate that ever lived, Gigantopithecus blackii, lived in Asia for nearly 1 million years before dying out about 100,000 years ago.
