For his discoveries on “the genomes of extinct hominids and human evolution.”
The researcher Svante Pääbo has been distinguished with the 2022 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology, as announced by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, for his discoveries on “the genomes of extinct hominids and human evolution”.
Last year, it went to researchers David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian, the discoverers of the cell receptors that humans use to sense temperature and touch. The Nobel prizes are endowed with 10 million Swedish crowns ($900,000) per category. The prizes will be awarded on the anniversary of Nobel’s death on December 10.
