From 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan  ( P. pygmaeus , with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan  ( P. abelii ). In November 2017 it was reported that a third species had been identified, the Tapanuli orangutan  ( P. tapanuliensis ). [7] [8] [9]    Genomic comparisons show that the Tapanuli orangutan separated from the Sumatran orangutan about 3.4 million years ago.
