What is a ape person called?

Answer 1

AnswerThe idea of an "ape person" is a scientific nonsense (unless we are talking about Tarzan). Perhaps the question is about the scientific names given to some of our more primitive ancestors, who shared some obvious features with primitive apes.

Australopithecus was an early genus, with three known species - Australopithecus boisei, Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus africanus.Perhaps the oldest, and therefore most ape-like species in our ancestry is Sahelanthropus tchadensis, who lived up to seven million years ago.
