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

Neanderthal DNA is routinely recovered and sequenced from fossil remains using specialized ancient DNA extraction and contamination-filtering techniques.

The analysis

The claim is a specific, empirically verifiable statement about scientific methodology—namely, that Neanderthal DNA is sequenced from fossils using ancient DNA extraction techniques. Multiple retrieved papers directly discuss the extraction, isolation, and sequencing of DNA from Neanderthal fossils (e.g., papers [0], [2], [4], [6]), providing clear and direct support for the claim. There are no papers contradicting this well-established scientific fact.
