Ape, for example: evolved man is embodying one (6)
I believe the answer is:
simian
'ape' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'evolved man is embodying one' is the wordplay.
'evolved' indicates anagramming the letters (the order of letters changes or evolves).
'embodying' is an insertion indicator (to embody can mean to contain or include).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'man'+'is'='manis'
'manis' with letters rearranged gives 'smian'.
'smian' enclosing 'i' is 'SIMIAN'.
'for example' is the link.
(Other definitions for simian that I've seen before include "Ape; apelike" , "Primate" , "Monkey, say," , "Ape-like - in Siam (anag)" , "Of or like monkeys" .)
