Denisovan. The Denisovans or Denisova hominins ( / dəˈniːsəvə / də-NEE-sə-və) are an extinct species or subspecies of archaic human that ranged across Asia during the Lower and Middle Paleolithic, and lived, based on current evidence, from 285 to 25 thousand years ago. [1] Denisovans are known from few physical remains; consequently ...
Thesis. How the E19 Protein of Adenoviruses Modulates the Immune System (1986) Svante Pääbo ForMemRS KmstkNO (Swedish: [ˈsvânːtɛ̂ ˈpʰɛ̌ːbʊ̂]; [3] born 20 April 1955) is a Swedish geneticist and Nobel Laureate who specialises in the field of evolutionary genetics.

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the Swedish geneticist Svante Pääbo (born 1955) "for his research in the field of genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution". [2][3][4] It was announced by Thomas Perlmann, secretary of the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska ...
The introgression events into modern humans are estimated to have happened about 47,000–65,000 years ago with Neanderthals and about 44,000–54,000 years ago with Denisovans. Neanderthal-derived DNA has been found in the genomes of most or possibly all contemporary populations, varying noticeably by region.
The chimpanzee–human last common ancestor (CHLCA) is the last common ancestor shared by the extant Homo (human) and Pan (chimpanzee and bonobo) genera of Hominini. Estimates of the divergence date vary widely from thirteen to five million years ago. In human genetic studies, the CHLCA is useful as an anchor point for calculating single ...
978-0465020836. Neanderthal Man: In Search of Lost Genomes is a 2014 book by evolutionary anthropologist Svante Pääbo. [1] The book describes Pääbo's research into the DNA of Neanderthals, extinct hominins that lived across much of Europe and the Middle East. It is written in the style of a memoir, combining scientific findings with ...
Denny. (hybrid hominin) Denny (Denisova 11) is an ~90,000 year old fossil specimen belonging to a ~13-year-old Neanderthal - Denisovan hybrid girl. [1][2] To date, she is the only first-generation hybrid hominin ever discovered. [3] Denny’s remains consist of a single fossilized fragment of a long bone discovered among over 2,000 visually ...
Sahelanthropus is an extinct genus of hominid dated to about 7 million years ago during the Late Miocene. The type species, Sahelanthropus tchadensis, was first announced in 2002, based mainly on a partial cranium, nicknamed Toumaï, discovered in northern Chad. The definitive phylogenetic position of Sahelanthropus within hominids is uncertain.
