We do require a plausable explaination of how this all exists...

A certain rodent, known as a "kha-nyou" by the locals in Laos,
evolved around a million years ago. The local people have been
eating them for thousands of years. Yet this animal is in the
news as something "new". It doesn't exist until some previously
ignorant Western guru gives it a Latin name???

Yeah, unless I'm mistaken mountain gorillas were officially discovered in
1902, I'm pretty sure their species evolved a good deal more than a million
years ago also. There are blurbs on the net right now dealing with a new
great ape species. We have to remember modern science is really only about a
hundred years old.
We seem to be discovering new species almost as fast as we are
pushing existing ones into extinction.
