The two different processes generate different forms of carbon, and when animals eat the plants (or eat animals that ate the plants) the carbon gets incorporated into their teeth and bones, where we can study it later.

Gigantopithecus was probably a bamboo (c3) eater, like the slightly luckier Giant Panda, so this finding isn’t particularly shocking.
