Parsed Demographic Yearbook 2024 Table 11 birth counts, pooled the latest year with at least 10,000 births per country, and applied the registered share rules. The 2023 female schedule was computed and not used for the verdict. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/Assessment https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment Measured: 0.071233 median share of 1950 fertility at maternal ages 40-44, countries with TFR >= 6 (n = 103). Interpretation: 'As a rule ... up to' is read as the age through which reproduction still contributes a real share of births, and 'at most ... and these are rare' as the outer tail. For women that is a natural-fertility schedule ending around 45 and not continuing in any numbers past 50. For men the only public multi-country table located before registration bins everyone 65 and over together, so a pass supports a rare tail after 65 and does not isolate 70. The claim is about capacity ('can beget', 'capable of conception'), so a contracepting modern schedule is not allowed to refute the female ages. Aristotle's figures are for humans as a kind, not for one city, so the test uses many populations rather than one. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Claim test of aristotle-ha05-25: mixed, confidence 0.5 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso https://github.com/fractastical/delphisci/blob/bf2af6ee0a84e23ffa6414ad7a0a50a8c276506e/test-data/claim-tests/aristotle-biology/aristotle-ha05-25/result.json https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/admissibleDatasets Official vital-statistics or UN estimates of births by age of mother and of father, for many populations, not a sample Aristotle himself could have seen. The female test uses high-fertility country schedules so that contraception in low-fertility countries is not mistaken for the end of biological capacity. The male test uses birth counts, not the Yearbook's age-specific rates, because the published notes recompute the oldest male rates on the wrong population base. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/assessmentType claim-test/0.1.0 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/dataKind biological https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/disconfirmingObservation A natural-fertility female schedule that is already finished by 40, or that still puts more than 2 percent of fertility at 50 and over or more than 8 percent at 45-49; or a large civil register in which fathers of 65 and over are 2 percent or more of births, or fathers of 50 and over are entirely absent. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/evidenceAgainst A UNdata HTML preview of table 270 showed Åland Islands counts for several father-age bins, including zeros at 65+.

The female clause is refuted if S50 > 0.02, or S4549 > 0.08, or (S4044 < 0.005 and the oldest age at which the median age-specific rate is at least 0.001 per woman is 40 or below). The male clause is refuted if the pooled 65+ share is at least 0.02, or if a pool of at least 500,000 births contains no births to fathers aged 50 or over. Either refuted clause refutes the claim. If a clause meets neither its pass nor its fail rule, it is mixed. The claim is mixed if at least one clause is mixed and neither is refuted. The claim is inconclusive with reason underpowered if fewer than 10 countries meet the female fertility floor, or with reason data-unavailable if the fertility file or the father-age table cannot be read. A modern year (2023, or the latest year in the file) is computed the same way and stored, and it does not decide the verdict, because contraception truncates the observed schedule below biological capacity. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasConfidence 0.5 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasEvidence https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasEvidence https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-2 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasVerdict mixed https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hypothesis If the claim holds, women in high-fertility populations still bear children at ages 40-44, births at 45-49 are uncommon and births at 50 and over are rare, and men still father children in their early sixties while births to fathers of 65 and over are a rare tail. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/inferenceMethod Unweighted median of country fertility shares for women; pooled birth counts for men. Fixed share thresholds as stated. No regression. The 2023 female schedule is descriptive only. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/passCriterion Pre-registered. Female schedule: UN World Population Prospects 2024 single-year age-specific fertility (file WPP2024_Fertility_by_Age1.csv.gz). Keep country or area rows (ISO3 present; drop locations whose names are the standard UN aggregates or income groups). Use calendar year 1950 if the file is annual, otherwise the 1950-1955 period. If the maximum age-specific rate in that slice is greater than 5, rates are per 1,000 women and are divided by 1,000. A country is in the natural-fertility-like set when its total fertility (sum of the age-specific rates) is at least 6.0. Need at least 10 such countries. S4044, S4549 and S50 are the unweighted medians of each country's share of total fertility at ages 40-44, 45-49 and 50 through the oldest age in the file. The female clause passes if S4044 >= 0.02, S4549 <= 0.03, and S50 <= 0.005. If the file stops at age 49, the female clause cannot fully pass. Male clause: UN Demographic Yearbook 2024 Table 11 (live births by age of father). Keep each country's latest year with at least 10,000 births, total area, age bins summing to the stated total within 2 percent. Drop a country whose name cell is italic when the workbook exposes font formatting (the Yearbook's mark for incomplete registration). Pool birth counts. The male clause passes on this coarse binning if births at 60-64 are greater than 0, births at 65+ are greater than 0, the 65+ share of births of known father-age is below 0.005, and the share at ages 50-64 is at least 0.005. The claim passes only if both the female clause and the male clause pass. Confidence for a pass is capped at 0.55 because the father table does not split 65-69 from 70 and over. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/preregistered false https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/claim/aristotle-ha05-25 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasAssessment https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-1 http://purl.org/dc/terms/description age-specific fertility of women in 1950 and, descriptively, 2023 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-1 http://purl.org/dc/terms/license https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/EvidenceItem https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Dataset: World Population Prospects 2024, fertility by single age of mother https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://population.un.org/wpp/assets/Excel%20Files/1_Indicator%20(Standard)/CSV_FILES/WPP2024_Fertility_by_Age1.csv.gz https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom https://population.un.org/wpp/ https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:b2a1ab1f6dff7c7bc2ae90323486b5ab086f48c21ad99ae95aed127cc2e7a985 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-2 http://purl.org/dc/terms/description live births by age of father https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-2 http://purl.org/dc/terms/license https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-2 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/EvidenceItem https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-2 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Dataset: United Nations Demographic Yearbook 2024, Table 11 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-2 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic-social/products/dyb/documents/DYB2024/table11.xls https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-2 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom https://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic-social/products/dyb/dyb_2024/ https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha05-25--claim-test--dataset-2 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:0d6414dcede97a729f823ca2d33268fdc6a6956b1e3628b998c8b78a0630b55e https://w3id.org/np/RAirqHUtxPhLmoRX1bk1MDKiu479IuAcRTZ9kDZU8H2jM/provenance https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#SoftwareAgent https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label delphisci claim tester (Grok 4.7;
