Human evolution
In 1883, Reverend Ernest Matthews was turned into an ape by Josiah Samuel Smith because he didn't believe that man evolved from apes. (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)

A Kish captain called Enkidu an ape. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys)
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)
Silurians referred to humans as apes. Silurians would use a virus on their crops to get rid of them. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians) Alaya indicated that she used to hunt apes for sport. (TV: Cold Blood) A female Silurian, Vastra, once commented that "people are apes, men are monkeys." (TV: Deep Breath)
