"The earliest ancestors of humankind come down from the trees."

Apes are the fourth land generator and the 12th generator in all. Apes are any medium to large primates in the superfamily Hominoidea. Apes are distinguished as primates that lost their tails during the course of evolution. There are two families; Hylobatidae (gibbons or lesser apes) and Hominidae (great apes, including orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, humans, and extinct archaic humans).

Description

"An advancement in primate evolution, the apes of the Hominidae family are ancestors of the modern human's earliest ancestors. Divergent branches of evolution creatd both humans and the modern great apes."

Design

The ape, in the garden, some swing on trees, some walk, and one of them apparently uses a stone to break either another stone or a nut.

Upgrades

The Ape has 15 upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a x1.1374 E10 multiplier.

Icon	Name	Description	Cost	Efficiency	Requires
	Domed Cranium	Primates have larger brains than most animals. Their unique skulls provide mor room for these large brains, protecting them from damage and giving them more room to grow.	Entropy 8.49 E10	25%	Primate Mammal Brain
	Brain of Ape	Early apes developed larger and more complex brains than most mammals. This gave our primate ancestors an important advantage over other creatures.	Entropy 2.86 E11	30%	Ape Mammal Brain
	Bipedal Walking	The act of walking on two legs instead of four, this alternative form of locomotion meant that hands were now free to be used for functions other than walking.	Entropy 3.63 E11	50%	Ape
	Australopithecus	Australopithecus are believed to be the first step in humanity's evolution from primates. THe first australopithicus skeleton, nicknamed Lucy, was discovered in 1974 in Ethiopia.	Entropy 4.39 E11	40%	Brain of Ape Ape
	Opposable Thumb	The development of the thumb led to more precision in gripping, allowing apes to pick up and use objects.	Entropy 6.72 E11	55%	Bipedal Walking
	Homo Habilis	Also known as the "handy man", Homo habilis one of the earliest species of the genus Homo, known for using primitive stone tools.	Entropy 8.68 E11	75%	First Idea Australopithecus
	Homo Erectus	Fully bipedal, Homo erectus was an extremely successful species in the Homo genus. It was the direct ancestor of modern humans.	Entropy 5.35 E12	110%	Extra Power Homo Habilis
	Five Fingered Hands	Primate hands have five fingers, including an opposable thumb. These hands are specifically adapted for gripping and fine motor skills, and enable some primates to use tools.	Entropy 3.62 E12	90%	25 Ape Primate
	Wrist Joints	More flexible wrists lead to greater use of hands, and make it easier to craft and use tools. Human wrists are a condyloid joint, allowing circular motion, flexion, and extension.	Entropy 1.39 E13	100%	Homo Habilis Opposable Thumb
	Endurance Hunting	Some predators hunt by stealth, others poison, some use traps and tricks. Others prefer a more direct approach: outrunning their quarry, until they prey collapses from exhaustion.	Entropy 2.50 E15	140%	Homo Erectus Bipedal Walking
	Vestigial Tail	As primates become bipedal and no longer need their tails to balance, their tail vertebrae begin to reduce in length, until eventually they vanish completely. The only remnant is the tailbone at the base of the human spine.	Entropy 8.12 E16	200%	50 Ape Bipdedal Walking
File:Ape Neocortex.png	Neocortex	The neocortex is the part of the brain that controls sight and hearing in mammals, giving them an evolutionary edge over other animals.	Entropy 2.59 E18	250%	100 Ape Brain of Ape
File:Ape Primate Groups.png	Primate Groups	Primats can be classified into two groups. Hominoids are apes, which have no tails: gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, bonobos, chimpanzees, and humans. Non-hominoids, such as monkes and lemurs, have tails and are more distantly related to humans.	Entropy 3.18 Ddc	10,000%	Gorilla
File:Ape Gorilla.png	Gorilla	Ground-dwelling apes, gorillas are the largest living primates. They live in the forest of Sub-Saharan Africa and are closely releated to chimpanzees and humans via a common primate ancestor. They are partially bipedal, walking with their knuckles braced on the ground.	Entropy 636.00 Ddc	20,000%	Primate (Evolution Upgrade of Mammal) and 50 Logits
File:Ape Troop Living.png	Troop Living	Gorillas live in a troop, a group led by a silverback, a large older male with a shiny back and extra-long canines. Younger adult males back up the silverback, whose bond with multiple adult females and offspring is at the core of gorilla social life.	Entropy 95.40 Tdc	30,000%	Gorilla, Primate Groups

Trivia

• In the game, apes will walk bipedally just like humans do; however, in real life, non-human apes do bipedally walk, but will usually knuckle-walk.
• Previously in a very early version, the generator Ape was named Monkey.
• If you click an ape many times, it will dab and you will get an achievement.
