Those apes are much the same today as they were five million years ago when the first proto-hominids, our ancestors, began their historic breakaway.
Apes live by instinct, humans live by cultures that subsume and contain instinct.
They domesticated animals and plants and remade their environment out of their imagination. To ensure their command of surplus the few enslaved the many. Servility was born on earth. By definition every human being has some of this imagination, creativity, genius - to make a culture and pass it on to posterity. If it was not so we would be gorillas or vegetables.
