Wikipedia says they’ve got 0.4% genetic difference from vanilla chimps. Not sure if thats a lot or how it compares to their % difference from humans.

I think the separate geographical regions (due to a huge river) helps them get classed as separate?

It also is worth mentioning that the species was originally separated based on skull information, before genetic studies and decades before the social/sexual research.
