Over the past 25 years, our laboratory has developed of techniques for extracting and analyzing DNA from Pleistocene fossil remains. We recently produced a draft genome sequence from Neandertals, who lived in western Eurasia until becoming extinct around...
Why did humans evolve the capacity for language? To investigate the FOXP2 gene that encodes a transcription factor involved in the development of speech and language in humans, Pääbo modified the gene’s analog in mice by adding sequences found only in the...
How can we use genomics to fill out the picture of human evolution sketched by the fossil record? Over the past 25 years, Pääbo’s laboratory developed techniques for extracting and analyzing DNA from Pleistocene fossil remains. He has used those...
