“Some studies, based on contemporary hunter-gatherers, have argued that ancient hunter-gatherers may have been mostly patrilocal57, while others have argued that they were more likely to be mostly multilocal12 (where multilocal residence is defined as a rule under which couples can choose to live near the husband’s or the wife’s place of birth).”

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.
