Svante Pääbo: DNA clues to our inner neanderthal

The video explores the study of genomes from living and extinct humans, focusing on genetic variation, human evolution, and the history of human migration from Africa. It discusses the genetic differences among populations, the role of mutations, and the interactions with Neanderthals and Denisovans. The video concludes with insights into the genetic mixing of humans throughout history.

What is the estimated time frame for the common ancestor of modern humans?

What does the genetic variation distribution tell us about human origins?

What evidence do we have regarding the interaction between modern humans and Neanderthals?

What findings were made regarding the Denisovans and their genetic legacy?
