Abstract

The question of the intellectual abilities and personal features of the Great Apes is widely discussed in academic literature. The discourse usually concentrates on comparisons to the human mind, but such criteriona areis not reliable because they don’t allow us to analysisze the personal being of primates in terms of its fundamental features. The borderline between Homo sapiens and the Great Apes is not as sharp as it seems. There is a continuous transition between them as regards Pparticulars phenomena, which. makes it possible to single out only extreme examples. Do the Great Apes therefore have features which put them in a special position in terms of humans law? The notion of “person” makes enables us to consider this issue.
