Claim
The 2026 report screened more than 60,000 Bianfu Cave bone fragments, selected 76 for ZooMS and 17 for proteomics, and identified three Denisovan bone fragments from layers dated approximately 167–134 thousand years ago; proteomics also confirmed two excavated teeth as Denisovan, whereas endogenous ancient-DNA recovery from the three bones failed.

Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 3 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:677b91ea-9fa0-8ed8-ba0f-27d37800896d
Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.
Why?
Strongest counted support: The study screened over 60,000 fragments and selected 76 for ZooMS and 17 for proteomic sequencing. weight 1.800000 evidence
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 Supported.
