At Flashbak: The 5 Most Historically Significant Humans in the Planet of the Apes Saga

My newest article at Flashbak is the follow-up piece to the one I wrote for Go Ape Week about historically significant apes.

This one is the yin to that article's yang, and it looks at humans from the same franchise who shaped the course of "future history."

Here's a snippet (and here's the url: http://flashbak.com/the-only-good-human-is-a-dead-human-the-5-most-historically-significant-humans-in-the-planet-of-the-apes-saga-17197/  )

"In my earlier post this week, I gazed at the five simians that -- across the Planet of the Apes multiverse -- had significantly impacted the media franchise’s “future history.”

Today, I want to remember the five human beings in the Planet of the Apes saga who did much the same thing. 

As is the case with the apes, not all the actions of these characters prove positive in either the short term, or the survival of the species."
