* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Like the book, the first version of the script gave the apes a 20th century technology level, identical to our world except for the odd difference like apes brachiating along suspended bars to cross streets instead of using crosswalks. However the need to cast so many extras and put them all in ape makeup was too expensive, leading to the idea of making a more primitive world with architecture based on the Cappadocian caves.
