How long would it take in real life?
For chimps or Orangutans or Gorillas to achieve the same level of intelligence we humans have now? Could it ever happen?

have you seen our earliest known ancestors?
of course it can happen. but it will take hundreds of thousands of years, maybe millions.
They would have to have really really good brains, and be really really smart and tremendous.
Then maybe...

Well it takes 1000 years for a gorilla to evolve into a human. However it only takes 600 years or so for a chimp to evolve into a human. Hope this helps
shareAs little as 500 years with guidance. If we wanted to make apes into people, we could do it pretty quick. Especially with AI assistance.
share In the real world... if evolution were to take that route then maybe 5 or 10 million years (much more for Orangutans).
In the Planet of The Apes world... maybe half a million to a million years to achieve the technological level humans had 2 thousand years ago and then maybe 100 thousand years more to reach 19th century technology.
Just my guess.
