You think Planet of the Apes came from nothing? Everything in the world is based on something. That's why Open Source is so vital. People continuously grab inspiration from works of other people to fed their imagination and create more work of art, science, technology, etc...
I don't really know if this sculptures by Emmanuel Frémiet gave inspiration to the creators of Planet of the Apes or King Kong, but the fact is that the creations of this XIX century artist are both beatiful and disturbing.
The images, taken from Dinosaurs and Robots, are in order:
Orangutan Strangling a Borneo Savage [1895]
Gorilla Carrying off a Woman [1887]
