apeman

The apeman, or Pithecanthropus, which he had in 1885 described and named, was in 1894 discovered by Dubois in Java.

His bellowing attempt at speech had sent Ellen closer into the arms of Bentley's other self—henceforth to be known as Apeman.

She patted the shoulder of Apeman and stepped away, toward a chair which Barter thrust toward her.

Bentley looked at the girl, but her eyes were fixed—alight with love which was still filled with questioning—on Apeman.

Then Apeman charged, bellowing a shrill crescendo that was half human, half simian.
