The 2022 Nobel Prize In Medicine

This year's Nobel Prize in Medicine goes to the person who first sequenced Neanderthal DNA from about 40,000 years ago, an incredible scientific achievement that deserves recognition. As the New York Times explains:

Svante Pääbo, a Swedish scientist who peered back into human history by retrieving genetic material from 40,000-year-old bones, producing a complete Neanderthal genome and launching the field of ancient DNA studies, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday.
