The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo, a pioneer in paleogenetic research “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution”. Svante Pääbo significantly contributed to the development of methods for studying ancient DNA. The discoveries of Pääbo and his team clarify the modern view on the evolution of Homo sapiens and its relationship with other extinct Homo species, provide possibilities to reconstruct the lifestyle features of ancient people, and contribute to paleontology, paleoecology, and medicine. The award recognizes not only the personal scientific merits of Svante Pääbo, but also the entire field of paleogenetics, which for many years was thought to be of no practical value, but only used to lift the veil on the ancient events of the genetic history of mankind.

Нобелевская премия по физиологии или медицине в 2022 г. присуждена Сванте Паабо, пионеру палеогенетических исследований, за открытия в области геномов вымерших гоминин и эволюции человека. Сванте Паабо внес огромный вклад в развитие методов исследований древней ДНК. Открытия Паабо и собранной им команды исследователей прояснили современную картину эволюции Homo sapiens и его взаимосвязей с жившими в прошлом другими видами Homo, позволили реконструировать особенности образа жизни древних людей, внесли вклад в палеонтологию, палеоэкологию, медицину. Премия отмечает не только личные заслуги Сванте Паабо как исследователя, но и всю область палеогенетики, которая на протяжении многих лет воспринималась как не имеющая практических приложений и лишь приоткрывающая завесу над древними событиями генетической истории человечества.
