Introduction. 1  The inadequate reporting of biomedical research is a longstanding and potentially serious global problem that is not entirely evident to many researchers 1. 2  This descriptive study was carried out in two stages. 3  We used the STROBE recommendations as an objective tool to evaluate the quality of the reports.
Tuesday, November 08, 2005. Largest primate that ever lived lived alongside humans. A gigantic ape, measuring about 10 feet tall and weighing up to 1,200 pounds, co-existed alongside humans, a geochronologist at McMaster University has discovered.
The largest known primate of all time was Gigantopithecus blackii, standing 3 m (9.8 ft) tall and weighing 540 kilograms (1,200 lb). The largest known old world monkey, the prehistoric baboon Dinopithecus grew even larger than modern Mandrills, weighing as much as a grown man.
