Answer:
Paranthropus and Giantopithecus are two extinct species that have close evolutionary ties to humans. Paranthropus is an extinct genus of extinct hominin, while Giantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape. Hominins and apes share at least 95% of their DNA with humans, so these two extinct animals probably had some evolutionary ties to humans. Humans walk on two legs and have the ability to speak, whereas both extinct animals walked on four legs. Humans and these extinct animals also share similar body makeup and bone structure. The fossil record of humpback whales is probably incomplete because everything is continuously changing due to evolution.
