Extinct primate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apeman

'extinct primate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for apeman that I've seen before include "Missing link, possibly" , "song by 4 [THE KINKS]" , "Primitive figure" , "Neanderthal type?" , "Tarzan, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Mirror.
