Comment on Missing banana for scale.

I think it would be cool if it was something a bit more human-esque.
Like less contrast between the colours of his fur/face, overall a bit less hair, let’s suppose it’s just more mobile than gorillas but not as mobile and agile as we are, but that it could make it less hairy due to sweating and whatnot.
And chimp faces are just a tad more human in my opinion than gorillas. And gigantipithecus… sounds like it might be more related to us than gorillas

Yeah, my dude just looks like a swole orangutan.
The Librarian, asked to comment, offered only: “Ook.”

Actually I went to read after writing the comment and while originally they thought it might be a hominin, now they think it is actually more closely related to orangutans, making my comment kinda stupid.
Don’t tell anyone. Well you can tell the Librarian. We’re scheduled for coffee next week anyway in the L-space. Feel free to tag along.
