(TV: Ghost Light) This sentiment was not shared by the Silurians, who had witnessed the evolution, and therefore frequently called humans "apes". (COMIC: Twilight of the Silurians, TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians, Cold Blood, and many others)

The Ninth Doctor called humans "stupid apes" on a few occasions. (TV: Rose, Father's Day)
Trevor Ridgely called Palmer an annoying ape. (AUDIO: The Nowhere Place)
