Don't know if it makes any diference but Caesar was exposed to two viruses: 112 while still in the womb and then 113 when he stole it from Will's fridge and when he released it in that facility where he met Maurice and the other apes.
In the real world... if evolution were to take that route then maybe 5 or 10 million years (much more for Orangutans).
In the Planet of The Apes world... maybe half a million to a million years to achieve the technological level humans had 2 thousand years ago and then maybe 100 thousand years more to reach 19th century technology.
Just my guess.
True, they weren't close but they were still family, they were uncle and niece. Normally, there is a natural attachment when blood is shared no matter how often they see each other (even between cousins, second cousins, etc.) but in their case there was none at all and all because of how her uncle behaved. So... as you say, maybe I'm making things up to suit me but to me it makes sense and, in that sense, they (she, her mother and her uncle) didn't behave like a normal family when her uncle was present... and kids don't necessarily tell everything that happens to them even when they are protected just like her mother tried to protect her from her uncle.
Also, while growing up, she just wanted to be special, someone different from everyone else (hence becoming a ballerina), as if she just wanted to run away from her life.
I think there is a good probability that, at least, she was abused as a child by her uncle, holding a grudge all her life and when added to everything else that her uncle did to her and that we saw in the movie, she had no problem thinking he deserved everything she had planned for him.
Do I think he deserved what happened to him in the end? Well, I'm definitely not in favor of death penalties but I also never went through what she did.
«Her uncle did not deserve what she did to him.»
Her uncle never warned her or advised her about anything, never showed any compassion or empathy, she was nothing more than a pawn to him:
(spoilers...)
- Her uncle most probably abused/raped her when she was a child (you all should remember that, when she was a child, her mother didn't liked the way he looked at her);
- Her uncle never tried to help her or her mother, not even finding a new apartment as they were about to be evicted, he just wanted to recruit her;
- Her uncle lured her to a meeting where he knew she probably would be raped (and she was raped);
- In that meeting a man was violently murdered just in front of her getting her all spattered with blood becoming herself a loose end awaiting elimination and her uncle never tried to save her from all that, he just gave her a choice... die or do what he was telling her to do (obviously she chose to live and naively agreed to do what her uncle was telling her to do, never she imagined she would be sent to the whore school);
- Her uncle even ordered her to be tortured (all her body would have been in great pain for weeks after this, reminding her of everything her uncle had done to her).
Everything her uncle did, he did for himself without any regard for her. He only cared about himself. The only time he showed any real emotion was when he knew he was about to die.
