Anatomical Feasibility of a Humanoid Derived from Orangutans?

Of the living great apes, humans are most closely related to the chimpanzees and bonobos. We retain quite a few features from that side of the simian family, and it got me thinking about what a humanoid derived from the Orangutan family would be like.

So for my project there is a race that is as related to orangutans as we are to bonobos. How plausible are these features?

"¢Arms are much longer than those of a human, being slightly longer than the legs.

"¢The wrists are capable of significantly greater rotation than humans due to the orangutan ancestry.

"¢Significantly greater strength than humans. While not as strong as an orangutan, a male is about three times stronger than a human male.

"¢They spend much of their time resting in order to conserve their strength. They are herbivores.
