There is more wrong with this than right, but I wanted to show the 
direction I have being working in.  This actually started as an entry 
for "future" but has turned into a more measured project to teach myself 
organic modelling, texturing, hair generation etc.  It's going to take a 
while to get something really showable.
No sss in place yet.

 Jim, that is just fantastic! I love it! I can see where you were
coming from ref the IRTC, but you know, I can't wait for the day that
3D artists can actually get to the point when they can use their
artistic abilities quickly, not slowly. One day, eh?

Well, maybe not a silverback gorilla, but one could easily
hypothesize an isolate group of hominids that survived.

Regards,

Judging by the ears and the shape of the back of the head I would rather say
it's a chimpanze ^___^
Nonetheless very good job!

Yes you are right.  It is actually based on a chimp and the hair should 
be black, and the skin a kind of dirty pumpkin yellow.  But as I was 
experimenting with the hair effect I kept picturing a human.

Yes, that was the sort of ambiguity I was origially thinking of.  I had 
intended to display the hominid along with a quote from my daughter:

"You mean in a million years, when they find my bones, they'll think I 
look like a monkey?"

BTW I know you are working on a mesh modeller.  I am generating the hair 
direction in POV by tracing splines along the surface of the figure.  In 
this picture I used the trace function.  In my next try I want to use 
the fact that Wings allows you to assign materials to individual polys. 
  So when I export to .obj, I can use this to parse out a hand drawn 
sequence of vertices and their normals.  It would be easier to be able 
to merely export selected vertices and their normals to a text file, 
then POV it from there.

Obviously you know your primates.  I was working from a fairly lousy b/w 
photo (of a chimp) that I found on the web, but I finally went to a 
second hand bookstore to see if I could find some better pictures. 
Particularily of the eyes and skin color.  Anyway I found a nice little 
picture book featuring chimps, baboons, and gorillas mostly.  So I am 
learning to discriminate.
