While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• The 1968 film Planet of the Apes and the 1963 novel of the same name both feature an astronaut who is stranded on a seemingly strange planet.
• The astronaut, a human, is initially shocked to discover that on this planet, apes are the dominant, intelligent species and humans are considered primitive animals.
• He is captured by the apes and must fight to survive and prove his intelligence.
• Both the film and the novel use this role reversal to critique social hierarchies and the nature of humanity.
