Always love the grammer people that can't answer a question but think they are english teachers.

Most of you people need to work on your question and answer skills. Evoluting is a word I made up for this question, DUH?

You haven't specified whether the male and female are of the same species... the word crossbreed could be interchangeable in this question.
If they are different species being "cross bred" then they would not have any children at all. Very few species can cross breed, and primates aren't among them.
If they are of the same species but different looking then they will not be evolving but simply reproducing.
If their combination of genes makes the offspring likely to survive then it's born with "reproductive fitness" (which basically means it's fit to survive and reproduce).
Evolution and natural selection are processes more accurately described as filters. It's not a single event that occurs over a single generation, but slow, gradual, incremental steps.
EDIT:
>> "Evolution is not the same as selective breeding."
Actually it can be. There is more to evolution than natural selection... mate selection, genetic drift, etc. are other mechanisms influencing it. Selective breeding is called "artificial selection" (it was the basis for Darwin's name of natural selection) and it is a form of evolution... Most of the different dog breeds we have today evolved through artificial selection and it's a much faster process than natural selection.
Cows are another great example. There has never been any such thing as a "wild" cow. We domesticated an animal long ago, only bred the bigger and dumber ones and we evolved cows into what they are today.

Besides the fact that it's "evolving" not "evoluting," and "natural selection" not "selecting", what does "apish" mean? Do you mean a male ape is bred with a female human? As they are different species, their offspring will not be fertile.
Evolution is not the same as selective breeding. Evolution says that a certain trait makes an individual more likely to survive *in the wild*, and then pass on that trait to offspring. Selective breeding says that *humans* pick a trait that they like and only allow those individuals to breed. The trait doesn't make the individuals more likely to survive, and it might not make them more likely to breed in the wild, it just means that humans select them for breeding in captivity.

Once more in English please
[and I agree with the others - if this is the standard of a Top Contributor then I'm glad I'm not one of "The Orange People"]
To quote from the Y!A Community Guidelines:-
"Ask clearly. Keep your questions succinct and descriptive, and check your spelling and grammar - it helps people find your questions, and you'll also get better answers"
So if you want a better answer you should sort out your question so people can work out what you're talking about

Evolution is happening all the time. Even us. You have evolved from your grandparents and yes natural selection still happens but it is controlled by the medical world due to all the modern technology available.

Dude, you really need to work on your English. If you're going to ask a question like this, at least ask it in a way that makes sense. "Evoluting" is not a word.

I suppose you are not referring to the Amish religious group.
If you are talking about apes of different species
:
a) what has that question to do with religion?
b) depending on the type of female they can evolute into some kind of new species, or hybrid, as when you cross a tiger and a lioness.

Evolution is the change in allelle frequency population in a population over time. It is not something involving a singular generation or individual.
Come on, how can you not know that? You're PLAYING, right? You can't really be that clueless.

Evoluting ??
Perhaps a peek at a basic science book is in order

This is not a religion & spirituality question, but nonetheless:
Cross-breeding is NOT natural selection.

nothing will happen. No child could be born, and if any child should be born, it could definitely not reproduce. That's why mules don't reproduce.
