Svante Pääbo: The Future of Ancient DNA - Schrödinger at 75: The Future of Biology

[@NondescriptIndividual]

I'm reading David Reich's book currently. Anyone interested in this subject would be doing themselves a disservice by not looking into it. It's called Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past. Dr. Paabo comes up regularly.

Hi Trinity Staff! Thanks for a fascinating presentation by Svante Paabo! Excuse my lay perspective on things. Is the ability to analyze sedimentary DNA a very recent and huge leap in molecular archeology? I thought it was an amazing feat to separate bone DNA from the DNA of a whole host of bacteria that invades bone samples as compared to analyzing DNA as it lay scattered on the floor in a cave that shows up in core samples. Thanks again for this great video.
