Assessment

Why?

Strongest counted support: The primary study reports proteomic confirmation of three bones and two teeth as Denisovan. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt confirms two hominin teeth and newly identified hominin bones were Denisovan, but does not state that there were exactly three bones.

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.

  Primary proteomic identification.

  Partial: the exact count of three bone fragments is absent from the excerpt.

Evidence against

None.

Qualifications

• The counted passage establishes newly identified hominin bones and two teeth as Denisovan, but omits the three-bone count and fragment wording.

  From Ancient proteins identify various Denisovan remains from Southwest China Read 2026-09-29 Relevance MODERATE Steps 0 Counted

  The passage supports the taxonomic identifications but is narrower on the exact bone count and specimen description.

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.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
