![]() ![]() There is general mainstream support in the scientific community for this theory of interbreeding between archaic and modern humans. He and his team also concluded that there was probably interbreeding between Neanderthals and Eurasian (but not Sub-Saharan African) humans. On May 7, 2010, Pääbo’s group published a draft sequence of the Neanderthal genome in Science. The discovery marked the first time a previously unknown early human ancestor was discovered by means of DNA analysis. The bone belonged to an extinct member of the genus Homo that had not yet been recognized, the Denisova hominen. Production, however, remained in operation until mid-2016.Ī little over a year later, Pääbo and colleagues published a report about the DNA analysis of a finger bone found in the Denisova Cave in Siberia. They sequenced over three billion base pairs with 454 Life Sciences, a company acquired in 2007 by Roche which closed 454 down six years later. ![]() In February 2009, Pääbo and his coworkers reported that they completed the first draft version of the Neanderthal genome. He added that he never thought he would win a Nobel although he had received a number of other prizes.Īncient DNA scientist working in a bioarchaeology lab. ![]()
