POTA is Earth
MM went through wormhole from 2029 to Earth 2500
The space station went through the worm hole and landed on earth in 500 AD
The ape Semos leads some sort of revolt and the apes are able to over power the humans on the space station.
The apes evolve for the next 2000 years to the point that they are at in 2500 when MM arrives.  Remember, they have the benefit of all of the evolution that had taken place up to 2029, so they have now evolved another 2000 years (what would be the equivalent of 4029 w/o time travel).  That is why they are so intelligent.
At end MM went back through wormhole from 2500 to Earth 2100
Thade followed MM into worm hole and went back to 2050
When Thade lands on Earth, he finds intelligent apes, b/c they have evolved differently due to the Space Station crash in 500AD.
Thade becomes a Celebrity (he is from the future) and rises as a political/religious leader of the intelligent apes.
Thade achieves equal rights for super apes.

The only thing that doesn?t fit for me is the three moons.  Why would there be three moons around the Earth in 2500?  Maybe there is a major natural catastrophe between 2100 (MMs return to Earth) and 2500.  Maybe a meteor hits earth and creates 3 moons and wipes out most of the population.

If you are saying POTA is not Earth, then explain horses, the older gun that Thade's dad had, the remarkably similar conditions (water, air, gravity, plant life, etc.).  If Thade came from a non-Earth POTA and populated the Earth with apes from his breeding, then he must have got to earth way before MM got back there. So I'll assume you are thinking hundreds of years earlier, say 1600AD. Then if he so radically altered the history of mankind, why do they have Washington DC (looking almost as it does today), police cars, helicopters, etc. Not likely since none of this stuff was on your non-Earth POTA.
