Fiction.
I have read the book 'Baboons under a silver moon' and I was thrilled. It concerns the fate of the animals we sent off into space in the beginning of the space program. The book starts by introducing Roland, a guy who turns out to be one of an evolved species, living on the planet his primate forefathers reached after having been used as test subjects before we started manning flights with people.
I won't spoil the chilling ending, but I will tell you that maybe the baboons we sent off from Pluto to that one planet next to Venus weren't half as stupid as we thought.
End of fiction.
