Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Falkland Islands had no indigenous human population before European arrival?

No. Two peer-reviewed sources (the 2021 Science Advances study and its PMC full text, plus the Wikipedia summary of that research) report archaeological and paleoecological evidence that humans were present in the Falkland Islands centuries before European arrival, contradicting the claim that the islands had no indigenous population before Europeans.
