  • Our chronology demonstrates that a coastal route used by the first humans entering the Americas was viable earlier than previously thought.

    “Our chronology demonstrates that a coastal route used by the first humans entering the Americas was viable earlier than previously thought, providing important geological constraints for early coastal occupation (McLaren et al., 2018).”

  • Our new chronology adds important geological evidence to the debate around a coastal migration route taken by early humans entering the Americas.

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.
