I really do not believe the evidence shows this. Of course it might be true but there is not enough evidence for holding this as true. How do you test that "oneself" is recognized?
Just one experiment that seems to show something is not enough. Remember all the experiment that seemed to show that an ape had a language with abstract concepts.
