Assessment

Why?

Strongest counted support: The primary study reports monophyletic placement with Denisova 3 and 100% posterior probability for each sample. weight 2.000000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt directly reports each Bianfu Cave sample grouped with Denisova 3 at 100% posterior probability.

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.

Qualifications

• The five samples had unequal sequence coverage, representing 18.6% to 36.7% of total protein alignments, and were dated to Middle Pleistocene layers.

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

  The 100% posterior probability applies to five specific Bianfu Cave samples with unequal protein alignment coverage and Middle Pleistocene archaeological context, not an unrestricted Denisovan population.

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.
