Transitional primate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apeman

(Other definitions for apeman that I've seen before include "Long extinct human ancestor" , "Primitive figure" , "Tarzan, for example" , "Missing link, possibly" , "Neanderthal type?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal.
