Extinct Hominins Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-09-05 · 1 entries checked · 1 flagged · 3 issues confirmed · 1 corrected · 2 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Ardi — The entry states 'Until the full description of Lucy, it was the most complete early hominin specimen known' — this is incorrect because Lucy was described in 1978, decades before Ardi's 2009 publication, so Ardi was never the most complete before Lucy.

Ardi — The DID YOU KNOW section says 'Ardi was discovered in 1994 by college student Yohannes Haile-Selie' — the name is misspelled; the correct name is Yohannes Haile-Selassie.
