Open manuscript at PMC4753769. PRJEB6622 contains the sequence data; the date is direct radiocarbon calibration, whereas ancestry and admixture timing are model estimates.
Claim ledger
biogeography · highThe directly dated Ust’-Ishim 1 femur yielded genome PRJEB6622 with long Neanderthal-derived segments; the inferred 7–13 ka pre-individual admixture interval is a recombination model, not a directly observed contact event.
claim:event:ust-ishim-genome-admixture-modelfossil-range · highHomo sapiens is anchored here by the directly dated Ust’-Ishim 1 femur at 46,880–43,210 cal BP (95.4% probability) and its genome; this is one individual’s calibrated age, not the species’ range or origin, and this western Siberian individual does not establish the species’ complete geographic range or every dispersal.
claim:taxon:homo_sapiens:fossil-rangefossil-range · mediumHomo sapiens is displayed at 0.04688–0.04321 Ma only as one directly dated individual, not the origin or complete range of Homo sapiens. The interval is a source-bounded sample window, not a global FAD, LAD, divergence date, continuous occupancy claim or direct-ancestor assertion.
