Wow !! I could listen to this for hours. Impressive how clear and logical the answers given by Dr. Svante Pääbo are. Especially impressed that such an eminent researcher and highly recognized scientist can be understood by common people like me who doesn't no knowing about all this. Thank you Dr Svante for your research, your precious time and the quality of your communications.

congratulation Dr. Svante Pääbo !!!

I am from Jerusalem, Israel. I was spellbound by you webinar, the clarity of the explanations, and the passion and fun that is clearly pushing you on. Also the questions relating to susceptibility to covid 19,and other ailments, and it's relation to old dna"that was worth while to keep ", and the liabilities it brought with it. Would love to hear more! Many thanks

Svante Paabo is one of this generations great creative geniuses

I took part in the UK Biobank pain questionnaire. Happy to have played a very tiny part in Dr Paabo's research. Thank you for a fascinating lecture and making it available on this channel.

I am in Mexico. Congratulations and thankyou for your concern in these fundamental, applied science

Vaccum cleaning KZfaq for these lectures and talks. Filling a playlist with them. Enjoying them so much. We need to encourage the youth to educate and go explore all these scientific fields, be it Geology, Anthropology, Archeology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics....... These fields of research will be the big thing in the 21. Century in trying to answer the many questions about the evolution of humans/animals/plants we have today. Scientists also need to have better funding. It's that important.

Watching from NSW Central Coast, Australia. Many thanks for intriguing presentation.

I keep rewatching Svante!!.. there’s a good number of lectures on YT.. but this one is RECENT 😱🥰🥰.. I just keep watching and watching!! SOOOOO interesting!!

This was marvelous! More! More! More!

Very instructive presentation, thank you both very much. I also had a childhood fascination with archeology but life took me somewhere else (but still in biology). Fascinating in it,s deepest meaning; please keep us appraised.

Wonderful talk!! Thanks to everyone involved!!

sub'd almost instantly after starting to watch; extremely interesting presentation; happy to find this channel, thank you for sharing.

Fantastisch! Dankeschön Professor Sven Paabo 💕🥰!

Canada here. I'm interested in how the genes affect us. And can't pass up listening to Dr. Svante Pääbo

Thank you for this presentation. Have Dr Paabo's findings concerning COVID-19 and chromosome 3 been published in a scientific journal? If so, and if the journal is in English, could you please provide the citation?

Fascinating. I have the urge to have my dna mapped and follow along marking each allele that has Neanderthal origins. I’ve wondered what this dna means to modern humans in terms of expression.

Listening in Sutter Creek, California.

Native Americans and Aboriginal people in Australia share genes that no one else has. How does that factor in here? Do Native Americans also have the desonivan DNA? I'm assuming some could have both ancient DNA? Also, how did the ancient viruses DNA become 8% of our own DNA? How does that work? I really like the presentation. Well explained in layman terms.

Because I love it, to learn something more about the ancient. Daniel Gent BE

So informative, thank you

Thks to U both!!!!! Soooo informative.

I was born a few kilometers away from Neanderthal!

Quite interested in relationship between Sapiens and Neanderthals, Dynosovians and other net yet recognized other humanoid species. Cheers, Jan. Lelijveld.

Is it possible to reconstitute Neanderthals by back crossing in a multi-generational volunteer study group over 500 plus years. I am a 4%-er myself.

Great stuff - thankyou. Wow.

Very good!

It could be due to the different cranial morphology of the neanderthaal - it being more oval - that leads to birthing difficulties and so a premature birth when the skull is smaller would have been an evolutionary adaption to resolve this problem - but of course this would lead to another dilemma - having to cope with a premature baby. It could be that H. sapiens resolved these problems - by a mutation which altered the morphology of the skull - making it more 'vertical' in shape (by vaulting up of the braincase). This would be a successful gene variation as more babies would survive.

Garland, a suburb of Dallas, Texas. (I am interested in how Neanderthals influenced the Indo-European population).

I'm from London UK

San Francisco Bay Area, CA-Worked for Dr. Cavalli-Sforza many decades ago @ Stanford University

Adding to my comment above - research work has pinpointed genes on chromosome 18q as being the ones that affect skull morphology.

Great insight

Cool thanks

Starts at the 6:00 mark.

good lecture

Northern Ontario Canada (Jan 2, 2021)

I had heard there was a Neanderthal variant that affected the COVID protein shell weakening it enough to help prevent it from infecting cells with its RNA. Is this true?

I’m thinking Head Size MUST have been a factor in regards to Homo-Sapiens giving Birth to Neanderthal &/or Denosovian births… where early birth could have been the body’s only chance at both Mother & child staying Alive.

Native Americans had heavy Neanderthal DNA!

Townsville Queensland Australia

Starts around 6:00. Yamnaya?

I wonder if native Americans carry the risk on chromosome three I noticed that David Reich said that the yamnia split and went to Europe India and North America Perhaps you have the genome of that kid from over by lake baikal and could see if this gene occurred there Also David Reich could check to see if that gene made it here My granddaughter and her mother have Covid and our Indian health service clinic just told them to stay home and take tylonal I gave them my oxymeter And some of the nutrients of dr Paul Mario’s math plus protocol Do you have any idea if we could get the test for this gene I know because my family has myotonic dystrophy that our ihs clinic will send a blood sample for testing if an American physician recommends it and it is free or covered by Medicaid Thanks for a wonderful program and thank dr paabo for a great book and wish him another eight years riding the crest of the breaking wave of scientific discovery in the field he created

Did H Sapiens acquire cold tolerance in crossing with Neanderthals and Denisovan?

How much of the Neanderthal genome survives today in modern humans?

were in New York

Yo. Where you at? Is this complex real on the screen?

Detroit, Michigan USA

progesterone an enzyme?

In fact, we are them. Their genes remain in us. It is a fraction, yes, but we recognized them as human enough to have children with them. The children concidered human.

I don’t think there were as many Neanderthals running around when Modern Humans reached Asia and Europe as people think

Everyone just wants to know how the neanertal and denisovan genes exist today effect us today also 2nd would be more about them which is the same thing really - them in relation to us now. a psychiatrist was telling us about this genome that they have got into now. so he found it interesting. it is interesting. they foun d things out with this stuff. and found out about groups that were there that are blended in now with others. We have the rare georgraphic tongue. And we have relation to mongolia some 1/4 so that's more influenced by neanderthal. red hair the one grandmother had red hair when she was young we were told. so that's neandertal trait but then they said that the red hair now isn't neandertal. This one man's wife wanted to marry him because he was big and looked different. So one of their kids had red hair and her 2 girls had double crowns- cromagnon. He's big, too which they say happens when they interbreed too much. Their kids all looked different some more indian than others. The red hair and light skin's different. The boy had dark hair. The man was white and a big forehead or whatever and that's what happens or something with too much inbreeding. Then some of the men couldn't have kids in neandertals.

USA. I have 2.2% Nieanderthal DNA according to Natgeo 2.0. Having Covid has been interesting medically for me.

I'm from Ottawa, Canada's capital city.

And indeed why the interest in Neanderthals .....

Neanderthals are often considered a different species than modern humans. I find this interesting. Interbreeding is key to the biological species concept, which defines a species as members of populations that can interbreed with each other to produce viable offspring. (To be considered “viable,” the offspring must themselves be able to reproduce.) The evidence is in Neanderthals breed with modern humans and the offspring were viable which we know becomes most humans have 2-4% Neanderthal DNA. Just as breeds of dogs, despite size and looks are the same species, biologically speaking by definition, Neanderthals are the same species as modern humans because we mated and produced viable offspring.

PROVE similarities in genes excludes the possibility of genetic convergence rather than inbreeding.

If you really take China at face value. I'd say put a asterisk next to this. For questionable!

The picture appears to be a Sasquatch

An advanced CRISPR method.....

Just do not! read the printout of Dr. paabo’s talk!

Watched up to 30 minutes

See

U. S. here. Watching on KZfaq. I have Neanderthal DNA. However, I have a chin. Otherwise that's me.

It's us who are the brutes.

The more I learn, the less I know...

He meant the neandethals in the US not us -really

About that gene from the Neanderthals in the 3rd chromosome and the sensitivity to covid. If you take the point of view of China, it is very convenient that the people of european descent and the Indians are more sensitive to the covid because many of them carry the gene and that the Chineses (and the Japaneses and the Coreans) are much less sensitive to Covid because they don't carry that gene. Just thinking...

What happened to the Neanderthals - we ATE them!! (poor sods)

America

It's Indian national holiday today instead of Columbus day ya

Hi dada

Associational data is not conclusive. A scientist should mention that before presenting his hypothesis based on correlation data.

Min 27, chromosomes 3, covid

No one talks about how much Neanderthal DNA the Modern Humans already had when they left Africa. You had Neanderthals living in Israel. Israel is not far from Africa

Yikes N. didn’t give us a lot of good stuff

Blood clots

Poor quality video, couldn’t read the charts , and the audio would have been better if the speaker would talk directly into mic, but an interesting subject..

Now they're trying to destroy the west and our uniqueness

Nobody knows what's at the north and south poles as evidence where early man came from the climate was different than

I'm glad in not a neanderthal

I still don’t think it’s logical ..not to think humans developed alone on other land masses ...rather than Africa ....surely Asia ....Australia ...pacific islands ...surely the roots cannot just be from the African continent ......I think it’s to easy to think humans did not originate from different places ...understandably evidence is necessary ..... up why not alternative thesis in relation to the traveling of early mankind .....

Being part Neanderthal has turned me into a ninny.

The strong flock expectedly impress because waste psychologically pause toward a troubled certification. fallacious, sticky pressure

I keep rewatching Svante!!.. there’s a good number of lectures on YT.. but this one is RECENT 😱🥰🥰.. I just keep watching and watching!! SOOOOO interesting!!
