[And humans are still apes.]

If that is the case, let's see an experiment cross breeding an ape with a human.

Why? It does not follow that different members of the same higher-level taxon can necessarily interbreed. Gibbons and gorillas are both apes, but they can't interbreed either.

Heck, there are different species of fruitflies which can't interbreed.

Again, *please* learn some biology before you attempt to critique it.

Assuming this to be true, then maybe you can tell us just what 'ape' is the ancestor of man? Maybe you can also explain why there are no transitional forms between this particular ape and man? Why are none of them still living?
