Synopsis

In the year 2056, genetic research has reached the pinnacle of human technology. With the aid of advanced computers and developed artificial intelligence, cloning technology has allowed humans to reach into the past and bring creatures like the dinosaurs back from extinction.

The only unlucky ones are us Neanderthals. Brought back from extinction by splicing our ancient genes with those of baboons, we were judged as “incapable of higher thought”. Then I was born.

My caretaker had spliced a small portion of my genes with that of a human’s, rather than a baboon.

The result was I could walk, rather than pander. I was taller, and didn’t have as much hair on my face. And most importantly, I could understand the speech of both Neanderthal and Humanity. In other words, I could finally prove that my people were intelligent, thinking beings.

But at this point, corporations have invested too much, supposing we were non-sentient, and contracted ahead of time for teams of semi intelligent slaves. And in an effort to cover up the fact that we were sentient, they swore that they would do anything to kill me and silence my cause.

So I did the one thing I had to in order to survive. I studied their language. I mastered their tools. And then, when I finally felt we had a chance against the superior race that humanity was, we escaped.





Author's Notes:

This story is entirely based on a dream that I had in 2019. I've seen Jurassic Park, but I haven’t seen any of the Planet of the Apes movies. I hope that I can create a somewhat decent story with this, even though there’s bound to be some unintentional parallels.

Enjoy!
