hypothesis	marginal log-likelihood	Bayes factor	interpretation
3a. descendant of H. erectus	−2118.12	3.70	evidence not strong enough to reject model
3b. pathological H. sapiens	−2120.25	7.96	strong evidence to reject model
3c. descendant of early Homo	−2116.27	—	best model
3d. descendant of Australopithecus	−2120.64	8.74	strong evidence to reject model
3e. descendant of early hominin 1	−2118.15	3.76	evidence not strong enough to reject model
3f. descendant of early hominin 2	−2119.17	5.80	evidence not strong enough to reject model
