No, lesser apes, such as gibbons and siamangs, do not have a sagittal crest. This anatomical feature is typically associated with some larger primates, like great apes, and is used for the attachment of strong jaw muscles. Lesser apes have a different skull structure that does not require such a robust crest, reflecting their dietary and behavioral adaptations.
