The original book was titledLa Planete des singesand written by French author Pierre Boulle.

The differences between Ulysse and Taylor were striking, as they boasted very different personalities and motivations.

Dr.Zaius knew that humanity existed before ape-led societyand that their actions caused the Forbidden Zone to become desolate.

This point was even further highlighted throughZaiuss job description as Defender of the Faith and Minister of Science.

This was because apes overtook humanity after a likely nuclear disaster saw the Forbidden Zone become desolate.

In the book, Nova and Ulysse have a child who can speak.
