It's implied to be because he's the only dark-skinned human the Apes have ever seen, as all the other humans shown in the movie are just caucasians with the occasional tan, making him a very unique trophy.



* The whole idea of the trial, where Taylor must fight to somehow convince the apes to let him live even as they accuse him of heresy for something he has no knowledge of. During the trial, he meets the last of his crew - now a lobotomized vegetable - and is told that this is the fate that awaits him if he doesn't confess to be something he isn't.

* Right at the start of the film, there's TheReveal as to what happened to the female astronaut, Stewart, whose stasis capsule malfunctioned and caused her to wither and age into a horribly desiccated corpse, which is actually shown on screen with a creepily realistic mannequin.
