I did a quick check and there appears to be some controversy over how to arrange the taxonomy.

I'm dubious about your characterization of my statement as "long out-of-date".

There's some controversy over what to call the taxonomy. There is virtually no controversy over what the taxonomy actually is. Which is that chimpanzees and humans are more closely related than gorillas and chimpanzees. And if chimps and gorillas are apes, then so are we. Maybe you'd object less if we called chimps, gorillas and humans "hominids" rather than "apes."
