Public Lecture by Prof.Svante Pääbo at Aim Universe Tedako Hall (2022 Nobel Laureate）

In October 2023, OIST hosted a special public lecture, "Denisovans and Neanderthals - How They Live On In Us" by Prof. Svante Pääbo, 2022 Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, in the Tedako Public Hall, Urasoe .
The direct ancestors of all present-day humans originated in Africa and spread out from there and the Near East 60,000 to 70,000 years ago. When they did so, they encountered the Neanderthals in western Eurasia and the Denisovans in eastern Eurasia, earlier forms of humans who became extinct about 40,000 years ago. Dr. Svante Pääbo’s group has identified genome sequences from Neanderthals and Denisovans. Dr. Pääbo discusses how genetic variants inherited from Neanderthals and Denisovans influence our physiology and propensity for disease today. He also discusses what the genomes of our extinct evolutionary relatives tell us about the origin and history of modern humans.

One milion dolar answer : H-Neanderthal extinct Due to his weaker imunity of H-Neanderthal you explained us in some previous lecture. Thanks. 🥇🥇🥇🥇

You explained us at previous lecture the Homo Neanderthal met Homo Sapiens Sapiens approx at 70.000 years BP.

Wow an amazing lecture thank you for explaining the diverse amount of Neanderthal DNA that some of us have! So interesting!👍👍

I would argue that the Neanderthal Gene that causes preterm births does so by preventing miscarriages and allows the fetus to be carried to a point that is viable but is born pre

Saw my grandson watching a two minute video of a young woman modelling lingerie. It had over two million views and forty thousand comments. Compare to something meaningful like this with less than two thousand views and ten comments and it boggles the mind. I know "de-evolving" isn’t a thing, but…

S. O. is saying the First Y-Adam never met the First mtDNA Eve. O. K. But…how is The number of generations back from today to history. When had Mr. Y-Adam(x) met MS. mtDNA-Eve(y) ? Do you know the amount of generations from now to the First Meeting of both ? ❤…❤??? It could be possible to know the magical number of generations Z=? this Magical Event happend, when Adam met Eve ?

All because some big pharma scientist thought they were smart enough to mess with the genetic mucus response of the respiratory system.

Don’t believe this character he is politically motivated activist with an agenda, just look up his background and political affiliations.
