Desk note. The peer-reviewed paper appears in Proceedings of the Royal Society B; Monexus has relied on Phys.org's same-day summary for the case-count and pathway taxonomy above, and verification of the underlying claims will require direct read of the methods section. The piece treats the descendancy-and-repatriation dimension as a structural caveat, not a policy line.
