Was it really a Planet of the apes?
We only saw one small area of 1 country where apes evolved as they did. What about the rest of the country? Or even another country? Are humans still thriving in other parts of the world?

What if other animals involved in other places of the world? Like maybe this was the "Region" of the Apes. And they also had the Region of the Dogs, or Elephants, or Polar Bears.
shareWe're certainly meant to assume they're the dominant life form on that planet, what with the title and everything.
What *I* want to know about a planet dominated by apes is: Are the chimp-like apes we see the only intelligent apes? Are the gorillas or bonobos also intelligent, and if so, are they warring over territory with the chimps? Were the orangutans wiped out by more aggressive species, or are they still holding on in some simian Shangri-La?
It is like Star Wars where it seems every planet has only one ecosystem throughout the whole planet.
