Abstract

The islands of Sumatra, Borneo and Java were once part of a much larger landmass connected to Asia called Sundaland. But there are some species that are unique to each island today – such as the two species of orangutan – so in research, published today in Scientific Reports, we looked at what could have kept them apart. And that involves looking at ancient poo samples.
