Meyer (Reports, 6 January 2017, p. 64) suggest a new chronology for permanent human occupation of Tibet based on their dating of the travertine and colluvium deposits that contain or are deposited near fossil human handprints and footprints. However, misinterpretations in both stratigraphic reconstruction and dating data may have caused the newly proposed age of these human imprints to have been seriously underestimated.
梅耶尔（Meyer）（报道，2017 年 1 月 6 日，第 64 页）基于他们对含有或沉积在化石人类手印和脚印附近的钙华和堆积物的年代测定，提出了西藏永久性人类居住的新年代。然而，在地层重建和年代数据的解释上的错误，可能导致这些人类印记的新提出的年龄被严重低估。
