In the novel Planet of the Apes, the three Frenchmen making the first interstellar journey discover a remarkably Earth-like world orbiting Betelgeuse--Earth-like, with one crucial difference: The humans are dumb beasts, and the apes are intelligent. Captured during a terrifying manhunt, locked in a cage, and ignorant of the simian language, Ulysse Merou struggles to convince the apes that he possesses intelligence and reason. But if he proves he is not an animal, he may seal his own doom.
Like the first movie, the novel Planet of the Apes has a twist ending, but a twist of a different--yet equally shocking--sort. --Cynthia Ward

Ulysse Meroux is justifiably shocked to discover a paradox of terrestrial social evolution, after their launch is attacked and trashed by the natives--handsome humans with primitive mental and emotional functions. For on this planet mankind is speechless and helplessly subservient to a race of super apes. Men have been reduced to animal status, while a simian civilization (divided into gorillas, orangutans and chimpazees) are masters of the planet and technology. How could such a distortion of normal roles have occurred?
How far must Ulysse debase himself to collaborate with his simian captors? For what prize will he sink to play laboratory creature in a Animal Behavior display? How can he convince the fair-minded chimpanzees, sweet Dr. Zira and her fiance, Cornelius, that here is the first sentient, intelligent man, obviously from another planet? Could apes possibly have evolved from an inferior human race centuries ago? Did God create Man or Ape in His own image? A fascinating hypothesis which torments scientists on both sides of the controversy. There are those who would suppress the truth if it involves heresy, but we wonder: can Mimicry be carried too far? I don't want to spoil the ending, which the movie version presents even more powerfully than the original. This is Sci Fi at its Simian best!
While sailing around in their solar energy powered spaceship, a bottle is picked up. In the bottle is the message. "I am confiding this manuscript to space, not with the intention of saving myself, but to help, perhaps, to avert the appalling scourge that is menacing the human race. Lord have pity on us." And the story unfolds.
They laugh at this ridicules tale.
Whether if it is believable or not is up to you.
