Since the publication of the first ancient DNA sequence in 1984, experimental methods used to recover ancient DNA have advanced greatly, illuminating previously unknown branches of the human family tree and opening up several promising new avenues for future studies of human evolution. The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Svante Pääbo, director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, for his work on ancient DNA and human evolution. On his first day back at work, he was thrown in the pond as part of his institute's tradition of celebrating award winners.
自 1984 年首次公布古 DNA 序列以来,用于回收古 DNA 的实验方法取得了长足的进步,揭示了人类族谱中以前未知的分支,并为未来人类进化的研究开辟了几个有前途的新途径。2022 年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予德国莱比锡马克斯·普朗克演化人类学研究所所长斯万特·帕博,以表彰他在古 DNA 和人类进化方面的工作。在回到研究所的第一天,他就被扔进了池塘,这是该研究所庆祝获奖者的传统。
