Late in the 21st century, geneticists played God. Genomes were sequenced, DNA was genetically modified beyond reason, and many extinct plants and animals were brought back to life. The Neandrethal, Anthropithecus, and other "Ape Men" were recreated for research and eventual servitude.
In the first studies, designed to examine anthropologic interactions, scientists "built" several dozen Ape Men and Women. These early humans were blasted by rocket to an earth-like planet in order to observe them in a more realistic stone age environment.
The researchers did a poor job of exploring the host planet's suitablity. No one was prepared for the life forms that already lived on the planet - many deep below its surface - and even less prepared for how quickly the Ape Men evolved. They were much smarter than expected and things got out of hand fast. Some of the members of the research team were captured and killed, before the rest left the planet as hurriedly as they came, leaving the Ape Men (almost) to themselves. The project was abandoned, but the Apeing In was just beginning!
