Why the Planet of the Apes is never happening
It's math:
Total number of great apes on Earth, worldwide: 500,000
Total number of humans on Earth, worldwide: 7,000,000,000
The number of great apes worldwide is decreasing. Even if every ape in the world learned to speak and was interested in attacking us, we'd wipe them out in a day. The largest ape populations in American cities are perhaps twenty apes in a zoo, a mix of a few gorillas, four or five chimpanzees, and assorted smaller species.
Some people will find this comforting.
