Assessment

Why?

Strongest counted support: The primary study reports the comparative abundance of remains at the locality. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The passage directly characterizes Bianfu Cave as a Denisovan locality with the most abundant remains outside Denisova Cave in Siberia.; The primary study reports the comparative abundance of Denisovan remains at Bianfu Cave.

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Unresolved.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
