Meyer (Reports, 6 January 2017, p. 64) claim that permanent human occupation of the central Tibetan Plateau started in the early Holocene without the support of an agropastoral economy. By careful examination, we find that neither the archaeological evidence nor the travel cost modeling provided by Meyer could support the permanent human occupation assertion.
梅耶尔（Reports，2017 年 1 月 6 日，第 64 页）声称，在没有农牧业支持的情况下，人类于全新世早期开始永久居住在西藏高原中部。经过仔细审查，我们发现，无论是梅耶尔提供的考古证据还是旅行成本建模都无法支持人类永久居住的说法。
