Nah. They are primarily using sign language and english to communicate with each other. To me, that assumes that apes couldn't communicate with each other before they learned sign language or that they would naturally prefer it. That seems ludicrous after only 10 years.

These apes are damn near indestructible (compared to humans), they smash cars, they ride horses and now they can talk. Why would they evolve to become more human-like? It seems to me that this would be a great place to stop.
