human warning

The tone that humanity ultimately screwed up its planet, reduced to beasts ruled by men, is a warning even today.
The domination of orangutans differs from that of humans in two important ways. The principle of treating the same kind, orangutan law stipulates that cannibalism is not allowed. When dealing with nature, it refuses to over-grab, and focuses on the farming lifestyle (of course, this may be related to the technical conditions at that time and the advanced setting of the ape society).
Although relatively primitive, the orangutan society is relatively harmonious. The so-called conspiracy is only aimed at the origin of religious beliefs and the foundation of society, rather than out of selfish desires.
Overall, Planet of the Apes is a good cautionary tale, both for human society as a whole and for racism.
