“Nonetheless, the current fossil and archaeological records, together mounting genetic evidence from across ISEA, point to the widespread presence of archaic hominins east of Wallace's Line 26 , and indicate that the first AMH populations to arrive in ISEA most likely encountered a variety of hominin populations, no matter which route they took to enter Sahul 4752 .”

“However, they focused their model only on the southern crossing between Timor and Australia and did not extend their study to include the rest of Wallacea.”

“While Bird et al. (2018) suggested that the effect of uplift on maximum elevation is balanced by the rate of denudation for Timor, this conclusion is, however, based on modern denudation rates (Milliman et al., 1999).”

“is of a low resolution (ca.950 m 2 pixels) that can misrepresent minimum and maximum elevations, particularly for small islands or narrow channels (Department of Hydrography, Netherlands, 1902;Bird et al., 2018).”
From Least-cost pathway models indicate northern human dispersal from Sunda to Sahul (2018) · cites this paper as Bird et al., 2018
In the citing paper
“Bird et al. (2018) suggested this poor resolution leads to underestimations of maximum elevation on the small islands reconstructed for paleogeographic models, with a consequent underestimation of intervisibility for areas such as the Sahul Banks between Timor and Australia during the period of likely human colonization.”

In the citing paper
“The results of our possible southern route contrast with Bird et al.'s (2018) drift voyage models, which favored a western departure point from Timor at the island of Roti, rather than the easterly option suggested here.”
From Least-cost pathway models indicate northern human dispersal from Sunda to Sahul (2018) · cites this paper as Bird et al.'s (2018)
In the citing paper
“Bird et al.'s (2018) focus on a southern route was based on paleoenvironmental reconstructions that suggested a savanna corridor facilitated the successful movement of early modern humans through the region.”

In the citing paper
“The study by Bird et al. (2018), however, only focused on the crossing from Timor's southern margin to Australia and does not account for the extenuating effects of the initial landing point on Timor.”

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.
