Geneticist who unmasked lives of ancient humans wins medicine Nobel
Svante Pääbo has made stunning discoveries about human evolution using ancient DNA — and his work helped to spawn the competitive field of palaeogenomics.
[Mod edit to add description]
I like his humility:
At a press conference following the announcement, Pääbo said that he was still digesting the news, and didn’t initially believe he had won the Nobel when he got the call from Stockholm. He “at first thought it was an elaborate prank developed by people in my group”.
The first Nobel prize awarded for research into evolutionary history.
A well deserved Nobel Prize.
