This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Svante Paabo for his “discoveries in the extinct hominin genome and human evolution.” This was announced by the Nobel Committee of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.
Svante Paabo is one of the founders of paleogenetics, a science that studies hominids and ancient humans using genetic tools. Paabo’s discoveries regarding the genomes of extinct hominids and human evolution are noted (mentioned in the message).
Paabo is considered the founder of paleogenetics, which studies the genetic relationships of early humans and hominids with homo sapiens. He was one of the first to decipher the Neanderthal genome, and using a fragment of a 40,000-year-old finger bone found in Denisova Cave in Altai in 2010, he was able to conclude that Denisov Man was a previously unknown hominid species. existed in ancient times. Comparing the genomes of modern humans and their closest extinct relatives, the Neanderthals and Denisovans, proved a link between the species.
Meanwhile, the Nobel Prize winners in Physics will be announced on October 4th in Chemistry on October 5th and in Literature on October 6th. The Peace Prize winner will be announced on 7 October in Oslo, and the Economics Prize winner on 10 October.
