What a pleasure to hear from such a powerhouse. I love how careful he is to lay out the shortcomings in the research and possibilities for error. All this stuff was "impossible" when he started. A true visionary and groundbreaking scientist. It is hard to believe how humble and soft-spoken he is.
Always so excited when I see a new Svante Paabo lecture on RUclips! I know I will learn something amazing. Thank you Svante Paabo you are an amazing communicator of yours and others research.
Svante’s Map at 31:24 shows a West -East Neander-Denisovan directional split at Levant. But in Feng et al 2024, Antecessor, found in Spain, is classified as closest to basal of Denisovans. 🌝
From looking at the top of the femur, it seems like Neanderthals might not have been as good at running as modern Humans. And it seems like Neanderthal girls were pretty easy to get with, but died of flu, felt more pain, and had more premature babies, but were protected against AIDS, and had much wider hips. It also looks like they could open their own jars and kill their own spiders. I'd give her a try.
I wonder to what extent other, possibly Denisovan, genomes show up in Native American or African American samples. With the history of one-sided racial intermixture in colonial past, many individuals in those communities have some admixture of European DNA, so the presence of Neanderthal DNA would not be entirely surprising. But it would be expected in Y-chromosome rather than mt-DNA

Still the best explainer of his work! Bravo!

I remember that day 😊

Academic talk introductions are really insufferable. Just get to it.
Svante puts the Yee! In Yeenome
We wuz neanderthals
Nelson Mandela wasn't.

The Neanderthal arrears to me female and Homo sapient male.
