  • While the analyses of ancient pathogen genomes have shown plague to be older than expected, they suggest that the origins of the tuberculosis complex in humans may have evolved more recently (~3,000-6,000 years ago).

    “While the analyses of ancient pathogen genomes have shown plague to be older than expected, they suggest that the origins of the tuberculosis complex (M.tuberculosis and related strains) in humans may have evolved more recently (~3,000-6,000 years ago) [307][308] .”

    From Ancient DNA analysis (2021) · cites this paper as [308]

    Sections 5 (Non-dietary inclusions) and 6.2 (DNA and ancestral gut microbiomes) discuss parasites and ancient microbial DNA, but do not address when plague or the human tuberculosis complex originated. Searches for “tuberculosis,” “plague,” and “6,000 years ago” found no passage supporting the claimed comparison or the 3,000–6,000-year estimate. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
