Svante Pääbo in Aula Magna on the origin of man

Watch a film with this year's Nobel laureate in medicine, Svante Pääbo, when he in 2017 lectured on the origin of man and Neanderthal DNA in Aula Magna at Stockholm University.

See the lecture "Archaic Genomics" with Svante Pääbo in Aula Magna 15 September 2017.

Symposium with leading researchers in life sciences

This year's Nobel Prize in medicine is awarded to the Swedish professor Svante Pääbo, who works at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig. In connection with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation in 2017, a symposium was organized in the Aula Magna at Stockholm University with world-leading researchers in life sciences.

Svante Pääbo spoke about Neanderthal DNA

One of the speakers was Svante Pääbo, who spoke about what Neanderthal DNA can reveal about the kinship with today's humans and about the development of different genetic traits. In his research, he has developed techniques that make it possible to analyze DNA in very small amounts from many thousand-year-old archaeological finds. Svante Pääbo's research shows, among other things, that traces of Neanderthals are found in today's people in Asia and Europe, which means that modern humans and Neanderthals lived in parallel here for a period.
