Apeman

"Apeman" is an non-scientific term that can allude to several things that generally have some of the traits of both other apes and humans:

• Tarzan is sometimes referred to as an "Apeman."
• The term may sometimes refer to extinct early human ancestors, such as the undiscovered missing link between apes and humans. Several early hominids could be considered examples.
• Alternatively, the term may refer to such cryptozoological creatures as Bigfoot or Yeti, which presumably possess some of the traits of both species
• Humanzee, hypothetical human-chimpanzee hybrids
• Ape-like beings that have distinctly human traits are not uncommon in fiction, most notably in the Planet of the Apes series
• Ape-Man, a comics book character
• "Apeman" (song), a song by The Kinks
• The Apemen, Dutch surf rock band
