The absence of chickens in Central Asia prior to the late Iron Age ~800 to 600 BCE contradicts the hypothesis that poultry farming spread west and north from the Yellow River basin during the Neolithic across Asia to Europe.
“The absence of chickens in this region prior to the late Iron Age ∼800 to 600 BCE (34, 35) contradicts the long-standing hypothesis that poultry farming spread west and north from the Yellow River basin during the Neolithic across Asia to Europe (6).”
From The biocultural origins and dispersal of domestic chickens (2022) · cites this paper as [6]
The temporal origin and spread of chickens substantially postdates many of those suggested by previous studies.
“Overall, our analyses indicate a temporal origin and spread of chickens that substantially postdates many of those suggested by previous studies (6, 8).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
