Sapient Ape

Sapient Apes are a group of sapient descendants of chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans that were genetically engineered by prehistoric Maverick Hunters in around 50,000 as soldiers. Today, though, they have mainly retired and now live in peace alongside humans, another species of intelligent ape. They now live in same places as humans. Unlike natural non-human apes, they can tolerate well with man-made food. They are about as smart as humans, more so than their natural ancestors, so they now know how to domesticate species, use man-made technologies, learn human languages and other languages, etc. Unlike natural apes, sapient non-human apes are NOT endangered as sapient apes adapt well even with habitat loss.
