Summary
- The Simian Flu, created by Gen-Sys Laboratories, caused the collapse of human society and killed 99% of humanity after Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
- The virus gave apes increased intelligence and strength, allowing them to quickly overpower humans.
- The mutated strain of the Simian Flu in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes caused infected humans to lose their ability to speak and become feral, making them more violent.
The Simian Flu is one of the most important story elements in the modern Planet of the Apes series, and here's everything that there is to know about the disease, including its origin, effects, and more. Starting with Matt Reeves' Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the modern Planet of the Apes reboot series looked at the franchise through a new lens, exploring how the hyper-intelligent apes actually managed to overthrow Earth. In the lore of the franchise, the Simian Flu is key to this historical change, and here's how it came to be in Planet of the Apes.
The Planet of the Apes franchise is one of the most beloved sci-fi series of all time, with it exploring all kinds of different concepts and ideas by means of a world run by apes. While the original 1968 film explored a society of already-evolved apes, Matt Reeves' Planet of the Apes trilogy instead decided to tell the stories of how these evolved apes came to be. Reeves' trilogy tells the saga of Caesar, but the series didn't die with the beloved ape, as it is returning soon with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

The story of the Simian Flu starts in Rise of the Planet of the Apes at the fictional company Gen-Sys Laboratories. Dr. Will Rodman was attempting to develop a cure for Alzheimer's known as ALZ-112, with it advancing to the stage of testing the drug on chimpanzees. ALZ-112 worked on a test subject named Bright Eyes, but the ape became aggressive and attacked some of the lab's employees, causing security to kill her. Funding for the project was cut, but Rodman stole the remaining samples of ALZ-112 and took them home to test on his father.
Rodman eventually desired to make a stronger variant of the vaccine, leading to the development of ALZ-113. While this strain gave apes increased intelligence, it was fatal to humans. An ape escape incident caused a human to become infected with ALZ-113, with him passing it on before dying. After this event, ALZ-113 spread throughout the human population like wildfire, going overseas and infecting humans on every continent. The outbreak was eventually nicknamed the Simian Flu Pandemic, with the title coming from the virus' ape origins.
The Simian Flu Killed 99% Of Humanity After Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
The Simian Flu proved fatal to most humans, with it killing 99% of humanity after the events of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The human population was decimated in a short period of time, leading to societal collapse. While the Simian Flu killed most humans, it didn't kill all of them. About 1% of the human population was immune to the Simian Flu, with their immune systems not being compromised by the virus. These humans are still carriers of the Simian Flu, but the virus turned out to not be fatal to the survivors.
While humans were susceptible to the Simian Flu, the virus actually helped the ape population immensely, causing apes to quickly overpower human society. Due to the original intent of the virus, the Simian Flu generates cells in the brains of apes, causing them to be stronger and more intelligent. However, the comparatively weak immune systems of humans caused them to be susceptible to the Simian Flu, leading to the mass death event after Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

The Planet of the Apes timeline is a bit confusing, so we arranged them in their proper chronological orderThe Simian Flu Mutated After Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
Although it seemed impossible, things actually got worse for humanity after Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. As is explained in War for the Planet of the Apes, the Simian Flu actually mutated once again, further affecting the 1% of the population that didn't die during the initial pandemic. Rather than killing the infected, the mutated strain of the Simian Flu causes humans to lose their ability to speak and become feral, turning them far more violent than they otherwise would be.
The new Simian Flu can spread through direct contact, but it also remains on surfaces that the infected have made contact with, such as Nova's doll. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will see a massive time jump after War for the Planet of the Apes, meaning things could get even worse. If the Simian Flu returns in War for the Planet of the Apes, it's possible that the entire human species could have turned feral.
