In many speculative settings, nonhuman characters will often use "ape" or "monkey" as a Fantastic Slur against humans (compare Call a Human a "Meatbag"). This is especially common in settings where humans are depicted as less intelligent or civilised than other sentient races. The Big Bad tends to do this if he's not human himself (or at least not anymore). When used by Starfish Aliens, it can sometimes raise questions if there's no basis for them to know what apes or monkeys are in the first place. It's not always a strictly fantastical insult, either. Some humans use this to insult each other, often against ethnic groups they consider primitive and inferior, or simply against individuals they don't like. The insult implies that the human in question is uncivilized and indistinguishable from less advanced primates; compare "Neanderthal". Even in Real Life, primate-related insults are unfortunately used as ethnic slurs, especially by white supremacists against people of sub-Saharan African descent. Primate conservation advocates have inverted this trope by likening apes to humans instead of the other way around. The argument goes that apes have intelligence similar to that of young children, so if you Wouldn't Hurt a Child, you shouldn't hurt an ape either. |

Played with; the Librarian at Unseen University, a human transformed into an orangutan, actually prefers being an ape (well, a different kind of ape), but, as in the Planet of the Apes example, call him a "monkey" (or even say "monkey" around him) at your peril. | |

X-Men: In New X-Men 130, Xavier describes dealing with unmutated humans as "chimpanzee politics". This could just as easily be an insult directed at politicians, if not more so considering Xavier's beliefs on human-mutant relations and the fact that mutant humans are just as much ape as the regular sort of humans. In House of X, when Emma and the Stepford Cuckoos disrupt Sabretooth's trial, one of the Cuckoos says "The monkeys are using tools again — playing at civilisation". |

Angel: One of the insectoid demons from Jasmine's dimension refers to humans as "filthy little mice" rather than monkeys. The reason it makes sense, presumably, is that for a bug creature, all mammals seem equally alien, and probably this demon is familiar with some kind of mouselike creatures that inhabit his home dimension, but he knows nothing about monkeys. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise: The Xindi refer to the humans as being "ape-like". In this case it's generally intended as more descriptive than insulting, and the same term is also used for Primate Xindi. Silik beat them to it, however. In the pilot, he says that human DNA "is almost identical to that of an ape" in comparison to the enhanced DNA of those Suliban (such as himself) who have joined the Cabal. |

In Death or Glory, by Vladimir Vasilyev, The Alliance races will occasionally refer to the humans (whom they normally call "homo" from Homo sapiens) as "apes", claiming that humans are an evolutionary dead-end. As far as they're concerned, any intelligent being that spent millions of years enhancing the body instead of the mind can't be called truly intelligent (the aliens tend to have evolved from simpler animals/organisms, such as lizards, birds, or insects). Of course, they tend to ignore that we need such complicated bodies to support our big craniums. Also, in later novels, humans are the only ones who are able to put up a decent fight against the Shat-Tsurs, especially in ground engagements. So it looks like those well-developed bodies do have an advantage, huh? | |

Notably verbalized in Zira's comments like "You know what they say, human say, human do" and "to apes, all men look alike". Also, the apes have their own version — they hate to be called "monkeys". | |

Death refers to humans as being "WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE" in Hogfather, implying that humans would be simply apes if not for their capacity to aspire to greater things. Guards! Guards! has a dragon contemptuously refer to a human as an ape (amusingly enough, in a demonstration of Ape Shall Never Kill Ape). |

Overlord (2012): The majority of the Floor Guardians absolutely detest humans, seeing them as lesser vermin that have no use other than to be killed and subjugated. While some such as Sebas view them with more respect, he still cares little for them in the grand scheme of things, and will instantly slaughter them by the thousands if commanded. A notable stand-out is Narberal Gamma, who throws out so many insect/worm/parasite/other insults at humans when she's fighting them that you would swear she has an insult thesaurus tucked under her outfit. | |

Sword of the Stars, the nickname for humans is 'ape' or 'monkey'. This nickname was originally used by the Tarka, but was adopted by most major species — including humanity itself. That said, most of the species from Sword of the Stars have similar nicknames: Tarka are 'crocs' or 'lizards', Hivers are 'bugs' and Morrigi are 'crows'. The Liir probably have one too, but it's not mentioned. As for the Zuul, they have no name for themselves. Zuul is just what the other races call them, which is a Liir term derived from the word "Suul'ka", meaning "abominable" (any further epithets would probably be redundant). Although in the Zuul language the word means 'pirate'. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series: In "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", the alien "Bad Cop" Bele sneers that "they tell me that some people on your world believe that you are descended from... apessssssss". Star Trek: Enterprise: The Xindi refer to the humans as being "ape-like". In this case it's generally intended as more descriptive than insulting, and the same term is also used for Primate Xindi. Silik beat them to it, however. In the pilot, he says that human DNA "is almost identical to that of an ape" in comparison to the enhanced DNA of those Suliban (such as himself) who have joined the Cabal. |

Spellsinger: Used frequently by Mudge in reference to Jon-Tom, and on one occasion by Dorcas the hinny. Given that monkeys in Mudge and Dorcas's world are fully sapient and civilized, the implication may have been that Jon-Tom is foolish or frivolous rather than primitive. | |

Known Space: During the Man-Kzin Wars, the Kzinti constantly referred to humans as "monkeys". By the Ringworld period, they have stopped doing that, having had their collective asses handed to them too many times by the humans to casually dismiss them anymore. The monkey comparison is occasionally presented by the narrative as being a positive one, in that as monkeys we have curiosity, which leads to learning potentially valuable things that the feline Kzin do not. Clearly they never heard that cats are curious too. | |

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy, there are several pointed references to humans being descended from apes, and more than one character addresses or refers to Arthur with some variation of "monkey man". What they're descended from isn't mentioned. This even extends to Betelgeuse natives, who look exactly like humans. By the end of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, we find out that humans didn't evolve from apes. They evolved from telephone sanitizers and security guards that got banished from Golgafrinchum to primitive Earth for being useless, meaning this trope is played with. Unless some of the Golgafrinchums mated with the cavemen, that is. | |

In 3×3 Eyes, the Sanzhiyan Umkara often refers to humans as "monkeys" or "apes" in a derogatory way. With some justification, as Shiva revealed that modern homo sapiens were the result of interbreeding between humanized Sanzhiyan and apeish hominids. Played for Laughs when Parvati compares Gupta's newborn daughter to a monkey, a baboon, a macacque and then to a prehistoric hominid in short order. | |

Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor refers to humans as "stupid apes" on a couple of occasions. So do the new series' Silurians, some of whom want to wipe humanity out. Less hostile Silurians like Vastra, who's in an Interspecies Romance with a lesbian human, also consider humans apes, but purely in the taxonomic sense and not as an insult. Vastra does use "monkey" as a male-specific insult, which could also function (whether or not intentionally) as a sexual innuendo: the usual telltale difference between monkeys and apes is that most monkeys have tails while apes don't, and "tail" works well as a Double Entendre for... something else. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, Freeza is very adamant about the Saiyans being "mere monkeys" even when he's getting his ass kicked by one. Indeed, having tails even when not transformed, they are physiologically more like monkeys than apes. Not that it reduces the Fantastic Racism any. And Freeza isn't particular. He uses all variations of "ape" and "monkey" to insult the Saiyans. | |
