It does more than suggest. It has now been proven.

The gorilla and chimpanzee are near-sapient; the language experiments suggest a concept of self and other.

I remember reading about a tribe of colobus monkeys off the coast of Japan. They were given grain that was mixed with chaff and dust. One of the younger females took the grain out to the sea, threw it in, and harvested the clean grain from the surface (it floats). Afterwards, all the others did, too. It had never been done before.

Sapience? Do you doubt it?
