  • Distinct SAPs in the bone protein COL1a2 enabled the identification of Denisovan remains found in the Tibetan plateau, the first Denisovan-like individual found outside of Denisova cave.

    “distinct SAPs in the bone protein COL1a2 enabled the identification of Denisovan remains found in the Tibetan plateau, the first Denisovan-like individual found outside of Denisova cave”

    From Ancient protein analysis in archaeology (2021) · cites this paper as [144]

    The Main Text reports that SAPs in the Xiahe dentine proteome supported a close relationship to Denisovans, and calls the Xiahe mandible the first Denisovan found outside Denisova Cave. The Ancient protein analysis section lists COL1α2 among the proteins used for phylogenetic analysis, but our copy does not specify that the decisive SAPs were in COL1α2. The Main Text also says the ancient proteome survived in dentine, not in the bone sample. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Ancient proteins offer an alternative to aDNA for understanding hominin phylogeny, especially in scenarios where aDNA preservation may be insufficient to be informative.

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.
