Default Tapanuli Orangutan distinct species, first extant of great ape

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapanuli_orangutan

Genetic comparisons show that Tapanuli orangutans diverged from Sumatran orangutans about 3 million years ago,[1][5][7] but became more isolated after the Lake Toba eruption that occurred about 75,000 years ago. They had continued sporadic contact that stopped at least 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. In contrast, Tapanuli orangutans diverged from Bornean orangutans as recently as 670,000 years ago. Orangutans travelled from Sumatra to Borneo as both islands were connected by land bridges as parts of Sundaland during recent glacial periods. The present range of Tapanuli orangutans is thought to be close to the area where ancestral orangutans first entered what is now Indonesia from mainland Asia.[1]

Always nice to see new animals i've never seen before

I think the ducks in my grandma pond are a new distinct specise because they look slightly different to the ducks in the river down the road.

What a load of old ****.
