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

• 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.
• Ape-like beings that have distinctly human traits are not uncommon in fiction, most notably in the Planet of the Apes series.
• "Apeman" is also a song by The Kinks.
