I was so confused when I first saw your title! I had no idea a character in Planet of the Apes was named after Galen. So, naturally, I wondered what this wacky Science duuuude could possibly mean by connecting a famous ancient physician to chimps.

But as always, I learned something by clicking and finding out. Vale, Galenus! Or perhaps I should be saying that in Greek, which would be a neat trick since I don’t know any. 😂
