Ulysse frequently struggles with feeling superior to the humans, and feeling compassion for them as they undergo sometimes horrifying tests in the name of science and medicine.Ĭornelius later reveals the direction of his research.
He comes to learn that the entire planet is ruled by a single government, and that racism among simians legally does not exist, though the three primary groups of primates – gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees – do not always get along as well as they should. Speaking to all those assembled at the conference, Ulysse earns public support in addition to his freedom. A plan is formulated where Ulysse will make his own case at the annual scientific congress. Cornelius and Zira agree that Ulysse should be freed, and would be an asset to the Institute. Ulysse also learns that primates have ruled Soror for at least ten thousand years.
He learns that Zira is engaged to a chimpanzee named Cornelius, who studies biology and archeology. He learns that the Institute is operationally run by an orangutan named Zaius. Zira learns French while Ulysse learns the simian language. Only when he grabs Zira’s notebook to draw pictures and mathematical diagrams does Zira realize she is truly dealing with a man from another planet. They put Nova in his cage, compelling him to have sex with her to study human mating habits. He speaks to her, doing his best to distinguish himself from the other humans, but she and her assistants only assume he is imitating them. The wing in which Ulysse finds himself is run by an open-minded chimpanzee named Zira. Ulysse and Nova are taken to the Institute of Advanced Biological Study, to be tested, studied, and experimented upon like lab rats. Ulysse, Nova, and Antelle are all captured. Ulysse is stunned to see gorillas, armed with rifles and nets, rounding up dozens of humans. The following morning, Nova’s colony of humans is thrown into disarray. She appears more inquisitive and approachable than her fellows. Ulysse is particularly taken with a gorgeous young girl whom they nicknamed “Nova”. They have no reason, and act only by instinct.
These humans cannot speak and do not have any recognizable human customs apart from sexual activity. There, they are stunned to discover white-skinned human beings living totally naked like animals in the forest. They arrive on an Earth-like planet in the Betelgeuse system, after a voyage of two years. The expedition consists of Professor Antelle, a physician named Arhur Levain, and Ulysse himself, an aspiring journalist. The manuscript is the testament of Ulysse Merou, part of a French space expedition launched to find life on other planets.
When the novel begins, Jinn and Phyllis are sailing through space when they discover a manuscript in a bottle. There, he discovers that humans are mindless creatures and gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans are their masters. “Planet of the Apes” recounts the tale of Ulysse who takes on an intergalactic expedition to an Earth-like planet near the star sun of Betelgeuse. The novel has given rise to numerous sequels, reboots, and spinoffs in film and literature. “Planet of the Apes” is a science fiction novel by Pierre Boulle, originally published in 1963.
