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

Professor Svante Pääbo's Nobel lecture details the creation of paleogenetics to sequence the genomes of Neanderthals and Denisovans. His work reveals that interbreeding between archaic hominins and *Homo sapiens* shaped the genetic makeup of modern non-African populations, influencing everything from immune responses and disease susceptibility to pain perception and reproductive health.
