A gorilla. A million years isn't that long in evolutionary terms.

given the iregularitys of the h5dna gene sequencer the mutation rate will double every 200 years if you multiply that by the amout of mutations that occure in the dna the exchange of haplogroup x will show the advancment of 5 to the square of 13 mutations showing in a million years it is quite possible that gorillas could develope human traits including speech , tool making , even love but most probabley humans will kill them all but if they didnt we would have to give them the right to vote thats how smart they would be

they will be dead (todays gorilla)..and gorillas will still be gorillas, thats not how evolution works. the other answer to my question you gave, if we took care of the global food supply we would run out of resources and die, a few billion have to die because we are breeding faster than people are dying..

well if they reach this time of life they wont be different at all because the existence of the man broke the normal evolution if appears another kind f gorilla i would be by mutations caused by ourselves

It won't look like anything... because this species is going extinct.
Even if we keep trying to "save" it. Fact is that they are too specialized and can't adapt if the environment changes dramatically.
They are not the "missing link" but a distant cousin going the same route..... only they got stuck on a side branch that is not going anywhere.

They will be extinct by that time. Also, humans will be the only animals left in a million years.
