  • River avulsion after the Last Glacial Maximum led to the irreversible drying of what were permanent waterbodies during the period of early human arrival at Willandra Lakes, which accounts for the lack of pathways revealed by our model in this area.

    “In the case of Willandra Lakes, river avulsion after the Last Glacial Maximum led to the irreversible drying of what were permanent waterbodies during the period of early human arrival, which accounts for the lack of pathways revealed by our model in this area [48][49][50] .”

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.
