Don’t we already have lots of evidence of animals using medicine? Sorry, I’m confused as to how this is a first? Is it just that it was a wound specifically?

It’s the first evidence of an animal treating a wound with a medicinal plant. They need to make that clearer.

Sumatran Orangutans also use hand tools while Orangutans from Borneo do not.

Do you want humans?

This is how you get humans.

No no no - humans are closest to chimps, and if their current state is any indicator of the evolutionary path we broke off from, we descended from a bunch of clever but violent assholes, which says a lot about our current state

Orangutans are chill as fuck - get that evolutionary juice flowing and step aside to make way for Earth’s real master race!

Always best to go to a scientific source with this sort of thing, because mainstream media outlets often get science details wrong. I’m still reading the Nature article, but that is where I would get the story from.
