*In 1957, Pei estimated a total height of about {{convert|12|ft|abbr=in|order=flip}}.<ref name=Johnson1979/>
*In 1970, Simons and American palaeontologist Peter Ettel approximated a height of almost {{convert|9|ft|abbr=in|order=flip}} and a weight of up to {{convert|600|lb|abbr=in|order=flip}}, which is about 40% heavier than the average male gorilla.<ref name=Johnson1979/>

*In 1979, American anthropologist Alfred E. Johnson Jr. used the dimensions of gorillas to estimate a [[femur]] length of {{cvt|54.4|cm|ftin|0}} and [[humerus]] length of {{cvt|62.7|cm|ftin|0}} for ''Gigantopithecus'', about 20–25% longer than those of gorillas.<ref name=Johnson1979>{{cite journal|first=A.
