James "Logan" Howlett/Wolverine (Marvel Comics) was reverted to a primal state after rejecting Genesis' Adamantium bonding process.
Due to a lack of human blood to feed on, the vampires of the Apocalypse World (Supernatural) have reverted to a primal state, becoming more bestial and animalistic.
The purple mutagen (Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) works by reverting the subjects back to the DNA of their animal ancestors, allowing such things as turning the Turtles into humans.
