  • Dispersing human groups reached Beringia during the Last Glacial Maximum, dated to ca. 18,000-24,000 cal BP.

    “They also suggest that dispersing groups reached Beringia during the LGM (dated to ca. 18,000–24,000 cal BP) where they were genetically isolated for up to 8,000 years before moving south of the ice-sheets into North America [3–11].”

    The Discussion identifies Beringia as the best candidate location for the founding population during a bottleneck around 20 kya, within the claimed range. It does not date the groups’ arrival in Beringia to 18,000–24,000 cal BP; it says their divergence from Asian ancestors probably began before the LGM and that their location during the longer isolation is uncertain.

    From Earliest Human Presence in North America Dated to the Last Glacial Maximum: New Radiocarbon Dates from Bluefish Caves, Canada (2017) · cites this paper as [6]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) describes many millennia of isolation, identifies Beringia as the best candidate location, and places expansion south of the ice sheets near the end of the LGM. It does not establish an isolation period of up to 8,000 years, and says the precise location of that isolation cannot be determined. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • The size of the standstill population is thought to have increased after the LGM, leading to renewed dispersals into the Americas.

    “The size of the standstill population is thought to have increased after the LGM, leading to renewed dispersals into the Americas [4–6, 10].”

    From Earliest Human Presence in North America Dated to the Last Glacial Maximum: New Radiocarbon Dates from Bluefish Caves, Canada (2017) · cites this paper as [6]

    The Results describe rapid population growth following a reduction during the LGM, and the Discussion associates that growth with expansion south of Beringia. The paper dates the growth to approximately 19–18 to 16–15 thousand years ago—beginning toward the end of the LGM, rather than wholly after it. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • The genome analysis refutes the possibility that Clovis originated via a European (Solutrean) migration to the Americas.

    “In agreement with previous archaeological and genetic studies24,25, our genome analysis refutes the possibility that Clovis originated via a European (Solutrean) migration to the Americas4.”

  • The first inhabitants of Beringia probably dispersed along a Pacific coastal route, possibly as early as ca. 16,000 cal BP, and settled south of the ice sheets before the ice-free corridor became a viable route.

    “It is now more widely recognized that the first inhabitants of Beringia probably dispersed along a Pacific coastal route, possibly as early as ca. 16,000 cal BP, and settled south of the ice sheets before the ice-free corridor became a viable route [3–12,77–79].”

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.
