Not very well made but something to use as inspiration as an improvement:
Star Trek-Planet of the Apes crossover fan short webisodes
- Thread starter Captain Trekkie
- Start date
A riot! Especially considering that humans are apes.
The lead actor's riffs on Shatner are just a scream.
Thanks!! rbs

We're related to them but not one of them. But this short webisode could serve as good inspiration.
That opinion is about 40 years out of date. Biology textbooks have caught up with monophyletic cladistics - a species can never evolve out of its clade. We are no less hominidae (great ape) than we are simian (monkey), primate, mammal, vertebrate or animal.
To put a finer point on it, our closest living relative species are chimpanzees/bonobos. Not only are we more closely related to them than we are to gorillas, they are more closely related to us than they are to gorillas. If a chimp is an ape, so are we.
Odd fact, our common ancestor with the chimps was bipedal, meaning that chimps evolved from bipedalism back toward being quadrupeds. We are also not the only bipedal ape. Although they are not our close relatives, orangutans are classified as bipedal, suggesting that our own bipedal origins are arboreal rather than terrestrial. A hypothesis that seems to be borne out by recent fossil discoveries. (See Orrorin or Millennial Man.)

We don't have the same amount of fur, nor do we prominently walk on all fours, not do we have the same teeth or the same skulls. Our consciousness is also differentiated from theirs.
