Apes Redux...

 Must be Redux month lol.

Some things surely need to be brought back.

Planet of the Apes was an extraordinary novel.  I suggest you read it.

It goes into greater depth than the movie.

Astronauts end up on a planet orbiting Betelgeuse where apes predominate and humans are the feral beasts.

There are nuances and a surprise double ending. 

The fate of one human is to revert to bestiality.  When approached by the protagonist, he screeches and runs scared to the pack.  This is the scientist who had invited the protagonist on the expedition.

Think of today.

We stand up to the beast or become cowardly mewling beasts ourselves.

Whose planet is it?
