 APES
Modern scientific usage includes as apes the families Hylobatidae (6 species of gibbons and the siamang), which are known as lesser apes, and the family Pongidae or great apes, consisting of Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla), Chimpanzees (common chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes and bonobos, Pan paniscus), humans (Homo sapiens), and Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus).
Some authors adopt the alternative of including the great apes in the family Hominidae, which is the grouping for humans and their extinct ape-like ancestors, while others use a subfamily to separate the hominids from the extant non-human apes.
Apes can be distinguished from monkeys by the number of cusps on their molars (apes have five - the "Y-5" molar pattern, monkeys have only four in a "bilophodont" pattern).

The ape is identified in ancient sources with evil, demons, and the devil; thus, those who were transformed into apes were banished from human society and thrust into the sphere of the devil.
Associating Jews with apes, pigs, and other animals, which is widespread in the Arab and Muslim world among both Shi'ites and Sunnis, is firmly grounded in the most important Islamic religious sources, and also has roots in the folklore of other, ancient peoples.

To be honest, Planet of the Apes doesn't look much worse than any other program from the '70s and '80s, and since this show hasn't run in syndication for over twenty-five years (if ever), there probably has been little effort to maintain the elements very well.
The audio goes out of sync at times when the apes are talking, but this is a function of the cumbersome makeup the actors wore and not a faulty soundtrack.

Because of their similarity to monkeys, apes such as chimpanzees and gibbons are sometimes incorrectly called monkeys.
Some are arboreal (living in trees), some live on the savannah; some eat fruit, some eat leaves, and some eat insects; although most have tails (sometimes prehensile), others do not; some have trichromatic colour vision like that of humans, others are dichromats or monochromats.
