  • Humans are capable of switching food sources when required, migrating to more favourable environments quickly as the need arises, and adapting to changing environmental conditions.

    “Humans are capable not only of switching food sources when required [2][3][4] , but also of migrating to more favourable environments quickly as the need arises 5 , and adapting to changing environmental conditions 6 .”

    From Landscape rules predict optimal superhighways for the first peopling of sahul (2021) · cites this paper as [5]

    The Abstract discusses early hominin dispersal out of Africa and models population movement alongside changing vegetation. It does not establish that humans migrated quickly to more favourable environments as needs arose. Citation 5 is attached to the migration clause, not the separate claims about food sources or adaptation. (LLM, conf=0.78)

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.
