“the recent finds from Laili cave in Timor-Leste demonstrate that modern humans did breach the Wallace Line using a southern route by around 43.3e44.6ka cal BP (Hawkins et al., 2017)”

“However, even if we consider a more conservative estimate of a ca.50e55 ka for colonization of Sahul, as proposed by O'Connell et al. (2018), significant chronological gaps still remain between the Sahul and Wallacean records (Kealy et al., 2016;Hawkins et al., 2017).”

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.
