Ape or chimp (7)
I believe the answer is:
primate
'ape or chimp' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for primate that I've seen before include "Leader" , "Bishop; large mammal" , "Mammal such as human" , "Man (or monkey)" , "Ape or churchman" .)
