What are the limits of ape-man? How ape can you go before it's just an ape? Is Kong an ape-man? There's plenty of hints that his race were once civilised, from all the big ruins on Skull Island. How about morlocks? Could Tolkien orcs be considered ape-men (some of his later writings suggest they are 'uplifted' animals and they are hairy, long-armed, and bow-legged)?
