Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • These changes may underlie some of the prominent derived facial traits of Neanderthals.

    “These changes may underlie some of the prominent derived facial traits of Neanderthals154,155.”

    From A catalog of single nucleotide changes distinguishing modern humans from archaic hominins (2019) · cites this paper as [154]

  • Adaptive explanations for an enlarged midface and large brows have focused either on enlargement of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses emphasizing respiratory/energetic demands and climatic adaptation, or on mechanical adaptations to diet, paramasticatory activity, or increase in body size.

    “Adaptive explanations for an enlarged midface and large brows have focused either on enlargement of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses emphasizing respiratory/energetic demands 56 and climatic adaptation 57,58 , or on mechanical adaptations to diet, paramasticatory activity 59,60 , or increase in body size [61][62][63][64]”

    From The evolutionary history of the human face (2019) · cites this paper as [59]

  • The large midface, chinless jaws and enlarged brow ridges of Middle Pleistocene hominins make up a suite of features adapted to masticatory or paramasticatory uses.

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.
