Some doubts about the tools in the hands of the apes

1. I always feel that the weapons and armor of those monkeys can only be made by humans, but if so, why do the humans scattered in the jungle have no sharp weapons, all of which are branches and stones?

2. Humans on the entire planet should be the remnants of that spaceship, and their ancestors should be more than a few people. I'm surprised, even if they can't beat ape-men at first, they have survived after all. Even if they are taught by oral and deeds, with profound theoretical knowledge, dexterous hands, and smart brains, how can they beat those who have not received systematic education? ape.

Strength is not an excuse, the human brain and the use of tools can fully make up for the weakness of weak strength.

3. After the protagonist returned to Earth, various fire trucks, police cars and photographed apes appeared, which should not be the case. Even if the apes have completely enslaved humans at this time, why do the apes with IQ and the ape society that controls (not control) the entire technological world continue to use the same police cars and cameras as the real world?

It stands to reason that the tools used by the ape-man at this time should be improved in all aspects, including the appearance and the way of use. After all, the ape-man uses a camera, and it is inconvenient to press the shutter. After all, the design of police cars and fire trucks is more suitable. Humans who walk upright with flat feet, not apes with lower limbs that are much more dexterous than humans.

Don't say that the ape-man did this on purpose. Now that they can perpetuate human customs like fire trucks and the media, and can speak and use a variety of tools, it's hard to imagine that they don't have the most basic creativity - adapting the tools of their lives to their physical characteristics and usage habits.
