There is not one person with any expertise in evolutionary biology that would expect to see half gorilla/half humans now. Now I would argue that Australopithecus afarensis is a pretty good match for what I think you're talking about. There is never a clearly defined transition between two species, though. There are instead many small changes over successive generations that result in a different species. A rabbit will not ever give birth to a jackalope. But the 5000th generation of that rabbit with certain advantageous mutations will look something like a rabbit, and something like a jackalope. 5000 more generations later, and more of those advantageous mutations give you a jackalope. We're talking tens of thousands of years here.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
