I dunno. In Schlock Mercenary both apes and elephants have become sentient (through SCIENCE!) and it's a pretty fun world. When you're not getting shot at. Which means it's kind of like modern day world.
U.K. Scientists Warn of "Planet of the Apes Scenario"

61 posts and no Troy McClure? Escapists, I am disappoint.
Hi, I'm Troy McClure, and you may remember me from shows such as Planet of the Apes - The Musical

...I really don't know how to make the obvious objection here to this statement. Partially humanized apes are just that, PARTIALLY humanized. There is no way for them to radically attain a level of knowledge which would allow for a takeover. Honestly, that's not what we should be concerned about. The moral implications of apes becoming more human are much much greater than the safety implications.

Yea I see a kickback from a movie studio here somewhere, seriously what an absurd premise. Make any animal as smart as you want, they unfortunately are still bone and flesh, though I would be afraid of super smart sharks since they are capable of killing Samuel L. Jackson in one fell swoop...
Sigh, this is what we stopped our space exploration for? This is why there are no more shuttle missions? Suddenly I am agreeing more and more with movie bob. We need a colony on Mars so that if we f'ed up the Earth humanity can continue.
Barrett .50 cal with armor peircing bullets versus gorilla
I think the barrett wins. Im not worried.

please...i made my own centaur army, we can take those damn dirty apes on any day.
because they have assault rifles and armor, they're walking APCs.

Science: 'we stopped giving a fuck after the nuke.'
also, why does PLANET OF THE FUCKING APES have an Origin film now? its fucking gorillas. dont need no fuckin explanation. like magic. therefore gorillas=magic (probably how they really took over...)
i did a thread about 'WTF if anthros were possible?' even the furries were anti-this. people were ok with it going the other way though (consenting humans as the base).robert022614 said:

Inimitable? 'fraid not, very bad use of language there.
As to the actual story, I hope he's serious, it's funnier if he's serious.

Wait just a darn second. They're warning of a rise of apes and monkeys. Yet they still don't have a zombie plan. Waste of money until the important issues are solved.
Look I'm all for some planet of the apes. You want catgirls? I got your back. I draw the line at actual Bronies. Especially if they are not required at age 16 (or before) to acquire their cutie mark. Now I have to go write some fanfic about how Pinky Pie and Deadpool stopped an alien invasion. Thank you.Deshin said:
Except that's not REALLY how it works and even if it did you wouldn't know what drawbacks came with it. We HAVE in fact advanced animals down their own lineages already by providing those things. It's called dog breeding, we've got ones with spots, big one, ones you can fit in your purse. The problem is that most of them are pretty specialized and only good for whatever scenario we were aiming at.Abandon4093 said:
As a degree level biology student I hate the presentation of science in the media, the newspapers have no idea what they are talking about most of the time and just latch onto buzz words or ideas which are going to create the most panic(ie sell the most papers). Only very occasionally do you get a scientific story published in the way the scientist would actually like to be portrayed.
Oh man, it's a good thing I have never stated that scientists can be sell-outs to popular opinion, money, and fame.
If I said something like that, then this article would evidently be proof of that sort of mentality existing in the modern scientific community, and could be taken as an implication that scientists do not always report realistically but rather, what makes them popular, rich, or famous.
Why, that could mean that scientists sometimes let their results and conclusions be "altered" to fit with popular opinion rather than the truth.
Good thing I've never said that.
wait. . .
