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.

(COMIC: Twilight of the Silurians, TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians, Cold Blood, and many others)
Earth apes
In ancient times, Silurian scientists Nagara and Guruz attempted to force pre-human apes to learn and display intelligence. Kin, leader of the apes, strangled Guruz in response to another beating. Nagura returned to set the Apes free. Believing the Apes to be thanking him for the discipline he offered them, he accepted a woven headband like Kin's. Only when the headband was in place did he realised his third eye was blocked by a stone at the front and he was powerless. The apes exacted their revenge for their brutal captivity. (COMIC: Twilight of the Silurians)
