Is the Future of Medicine Hidden in Ancient DNA?

Fascinating interview. Thank you!

kudos for proper pronunciation of Neanderthal!

Yeah ... genetic therapies! It will be available right after hydrogen fusion. BTW, should we be messing with our DNA? Remember leaded gasoline and CO2?

This whole topic of discussion was continually sabotaged and sent off into uninteresting tangents by the interviewers interruptions and unhelpful questions. If only we could have heard the scientist give an organized presentation of what he was doing, what he found, what are the implications, the applications on his own it would have been so much less frustrating. He is explaining fascinating findings and then is interrupted and the conversation is taken in a superficial direction by every question. I found myself continually wanting to say no I don't want to hear how he got the information! We all understand how DNA tests are done! We want to hear him continue with the results of his findings!

This interview style brings to mind episodes of Columbo, where he acts stupid and restates everything then haracters he interview say. Its good content but maybe best for people who are a bit slow.
