Nobel Prize lecture: Svante Pääbo, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2022

Svante Pääbo: The Neandertal Genome and the Evolution of Modern Humans
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2022 was awarded to Svante Pääbo "for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution".

[@malekebadi9805]

Years and years of research and huge amount of effort and sacrifice. That's what it takes to win a Nobel prize. If you watch his lectures or documentaries from 10-15 years ago, you notice that he is constantly reporting new findings about human evolution. It was pretty impressive to see that he is relating his findings to the science behind common diseases in human species with high mortality rates. Hopefully, at some point he will discover the implications of carrying Neandertal genes on the risk of being diagnosed with cancer if such a correlation ever exists.

In physics you can have a flash of genius at age 26 and win a Nobel prize after your theory is proven.

An Anthropologist won the Nobel prize! I got my MA in Anthro in ‘77, alas I did not earn my P Hd, life got in the way, but this research is mind boggling! Thank you Nobel community!

[@edwigcarol4888]

Yes a fascinating adventure for the lay person too. Homo as a species, so liberating. Now i presume that the chimpanzee, who is so incredibly near to us is the "missing link". A life being between "humans " and "animals". (Lucy 4,3 Mio yrs. The Chimp 7 Mio Yrs)

Wow does it mean that dna defines who we are i think we are in a shift of a new biggest discovery here as far as I can say a lot of our cognitive abilities depend on our brain 🧠 the genes give birth to neurons well what if the answer lies in the dna well maybe we have so much to explore maybe dna gives rise to consciousness but how and where is that thing coming from what are those external factors how do they play a role in it 🤔

[@geg1geg1]

Wow respect ! I was born in 99 :)

[@Dryfee]

These prizes overstate the actions of a single (very gifted and impressive) individual, who stands on the shoulders of equally gifted and impressive individuals. Nick Patterson, David Reich, Johannes Krause, Cavalli-Sforza, etc, all should be equally proud of this prize

[@user-ib8uj1ic7d]

I've read Svante Paabo's books and papers, and I've watched his lectures and other videos. I was so happy when he won the Nobel. He wholly deserves it. Thank You Mr. Paabo.

[@marijanap.r.8519]

I've been enjoying tremendously Mr Svante's KZbin lectures during the last few years and was very happy to see him win the prize. He approaches this topic in a way that makes it accessible and interesting to a wider audience, including audience with no scientific scientific background, like myself. Hope to see more interesting news and lectures soon.😊

[@edwigcarol4888]

Start: 13:00 I can't help but thinking at all the skilled scientific colleagues having contributed to this research and its findings. Science has become teamwork: connected brains are powerful together. Now no single scientific can claim having won alone a prize. The Nobel Institution has ignored that fact for decades. This said i have a lot of respect and interest for Swante Paabo

[@jmolofsson]

The will of Alfred Nobel has ignored this, yes!

[@jakalamanewtown6814]

Well said, Nobel is not that good- NB no mathematics or philosophy prizes (which does not need collaborative work.)

[@lindabroer8995]

It is indeed a shame that the other people instrumental to the work aren't recognized by the Nobel award. Granted, without Svante Paabo I don't think any of this work would have been realized. He basically invented an entire field of research so the Nobel prize is much deserved. Yet, perhaps some other, associated, price for the many, many people involved in this research (and most other research) would be appreciated.

[@tonybrowneyed8277]

there was a past that seemed veiled forever. however, for the brilliant work done by people like prof. paabo light has been shed on it.

[@mnesvat]

It's great to see there is a trend towards sharing knowledge with the public even though the subject is very scientific and needs some attention. Huge thanks for the effort.

[@hochathanfire0001]

Denisovans, pretty impressive!! 🏆

[@abankitkumar2873]

Such a beautiful video.

[@olufemiajumobi7254]

Interesting mention of my tribe “Yoruba” in south-western Nigeria in Africa in comparison of genome of the French and Neandertals! Great persevering enduring work!

[@DavidAMbah]

Great effort. Thanks to the funding that facilitated the research work on throwing light on the genetic evolution of man.

[@bukurie6861]

Nobel Prize lectur❤e !Great work and give to the best for us❤Congratulation🌍

[@stvbrsn]

I am so pleased to see that he won the prize, I’ve followed his work for a number of years but somehow missed this! What would please me even more would be if we could shift the paradigm from referring to Neanderthals as being “extinct,” to thinking of ourselves rather as a hybrid species. After all, it’s pretty obvious that some individual humans today have a higher proportion of Neanderthal DNA. Those with a lower percentage of Neanderthal genes refer to us as “autistic.”

[@alaskapuss]

I highly reccomend his book!

[@globalnews007]

you are the best people who survive a lot of people suffering..

[@teaburg]

thank you Svante Paabo, and team, for your contributions!

[@siddharthkanche5467]

Inspiration for many thank you so much for this contribution and congratulations sir💐💞

[@cornelisberndsen]

Hell: Hell must be when I am locked up with Svante Pääbo for eternity and the aim is for me to fully understand everything he says/explains/teaches. And we have all of eternity to get there. A) I will never understand all the things he says, but I "get" the big picture. B) It is hell, because you're fully aware that you will never understand all the details, but the man is too nice, too educated to ever give up on trying to make you understand. And therefore, you can never ever, in all of eternity, tell him enough is enough and please bugger off. Svante Pääbo is a patient person, a pitbull who doesn't let go. ever. He is a rockstar and humble person at the same time. Thank you, Thank you for all your efforts, and thank you for being present on the web, for us mere mortals who will never fully understand, but have a great interest in the subject matter anyways. Thank you.

[@willee2409]

Räddade mitt skolarbete efter SVT kraschade! Tack🙏🏼

[@platzandersonne2198]

Dear Mr.Pääbo, thank you and Your Kollegues vor asking the right Questions .I Wonder how Variants from VDR are different in Neandertals Denisovans and modern Humans.

[@hochathanfire0001]

Brilliant, just bloody brilliant!! 🍿🍿🍿🥳.

[@drkitlangkisuchiang2900]

The lady who introduced him won the Noble Prize already

[@jmolofsson]

When should that have happened?

[@luisathought]

Thank You

[@sharinaross1865]

Fascinating

65000 Y ago- 35000 // ago very interesting period of development of pain, lending to increased success with groupings that are communal, as is the case with the most successful group ( suffered the most and still go on) - bread out vulnerability -Australian Aborigines, who are the progenitors of successful human population without wrongs to nature or other human groups.

[@peteracton2246]

Understanding our origin - definitely, well maybe. Shared sequences from that distance in time maybe from direct contact or did both samples get such from an unknown third party (archaic moderns)? Many more samples are needed to get a good story despite what gets written in "pulp" pop-science books and the learned (speculative) journals. Very questionable as to whether Neanderthals and Denisovans (that undescribed species that we now know so much about apparently) were different species to us, in my humble opinion.

[@edwigcarol4888]

May i suggest a scientific comment of Swante Paabo, which could explain why Neanderthal is considered as another Homo's species: Neanderthal had followed faithfully traditions and technics without any single small change over ten thousands of years while homo sapiens has been from the start steadily discovering improving learning new things. This suggests a neuronal new quality we could call "curiosity" - "learning by trial" - "creativity". Another mode of functioning for the neuronal networks.. (amd the brain shrinks!) A lion and a panther are both big cats and two different species, nevertheless. This said Neanderthals are beautiful skilled life beings, not questionable.

Inshaala i will win it

[@apitherapynepal5585]

Welcome, but this information could be used as political/biological weapon by governments against humanity; just what happened with the investigation of nuclear power!

[@Aigle20350]

Not really…. 😑

[@ebthedoc4992]

I just watched Svante Pääbo’s Nobel-Laureate lecture, absolutely fascinated by the advancements in our increased understanding of inter-racial genetic effects from proven, REALLY archaic “human miscegenation” that he and his collaborators have been researching. I have long advocated court-mandated, full-DNA sequencing of the perpetrators, in EVERY racially motivated hate crime, prosecuted in the US. I’m quite certain that there would be a great number of extremely red, “white-supremacist” faces, when the results are made public. Bigoted racists don’t like having their own “cave-man” ancestry published.

[@MrRobertFarr]

That's an emotionally sensitive interpretation !

[@christfrank5871]

😁

[@MrRobertFarr]

Medicine is my favourite. Do you think it's legitimate science or politically biased ?

[@ravindertalwar553]

I pray to Almighty God for the wellbeing and happiness for everyone in the Global World based on Friendship, Mutual Understanding, Peaceful Coexistence,Non Violence And JUSTICE FOR ALL.
