Assessment

Why?

Strongest counted support: The primary study reports the fossil identifications, age range and proteomic attribution. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The quoted passage directly reports three fossils dated 167–134 thousand years ago and proteomic Denisovan attribution for them and two teeth.

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.

  The excerpt states the fossil count, age range, and proteomic result.

Evidence against

None.

Qualifications

• The fossil count and broad 167–134 ka range combine specimens from two layers with distinct age intervals, while proteomic confirmation covered two selected teeth rather than all four excavated teeth.

  Adds screening funnel, layer-specific dating, specimen identities, and selected-tooth denominator.

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.
