Calment's record is publicly challenged

node

Nikolay Zak and Valery Novoselov argue that the woman who died in 1997 was Jeanne Calment's daughter Yvonne, who had assumed her mother's identity in 1934. French demographers publish detailed rebuttals drawing on census household composition, photographic comparison and interview testimony, and the validated record stands. Reported here as a contested claim, not a resolved one.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
