>first decade, genetic experiments trying to bring them back
Lol I've considered this too whenever this question arises. There would be an extensive project into investigating their precise genetic makeup in order to breed humans with their particular genetic material which would, inevitably, result in ape-human hybrids being created in labs. There would be a huge cover-up to prevent people from knowing apes were needed in the genetic craft, but in time the public would learn this.
