The article talks about the gene increasing the neocortex, folding of the brain, more neurons and so forth. There is no evidence that doing these things to a monkey brain will imbue it with (human) intelligence. For all we know it could have just made this monkey a better forager, or improved its natural problem solving instincts.

Better brain != human.
