ok people its simple, just like the origional movie "they were on earth all along"!!!! here we go, if you remember on the space station they mention that the apes are being GENETICALLY altered, this is during the year 2029. The space station was not taken over by the evolving apes after it crash landed on some strang planet, in a sence seeding the new planet with apes, it crashed on earth years into the future. Sometime after 2029 the apes continued to evolve untill they were able to take over the plant. In the origional movie we were lead to believe the humans destroyed the planet. but in fact after the apes take over they eventually destroy the earth just as the humans did in the first movie. The Gen Thade statue you see is an ancestor of the Thade in the movie. (remember Thades dad, before he died, telling him the truth about humans and the gun that has been in the family for a long time). When he is going back in time the last date you see is in the late 2100's not 2029. Now I no that only leaves a 100+ years for the apes to evolve and take over the world but remember that the evolution process was faster because of human DNA altering.
