    Still not sure if you’re serious, but check out the rest of the movies or read this.

    In the original novel it’s an alien planet where apes dominate humans, but in the movies humans in the near future on Earth use intelligent apes as slaves until the apes revolt and take over. Eventually a nuclear apocalypse destroys that civilization, which is followed by the less advanced one seen in the first movie. Rod Serling came up with the ending that made it future Earth.
