In what happens to be a shocking announcement, Svante Pääbo, a Swedish scientist was solely awarded the prestigious Nobel prize in physiology or medicine in 2022. This is in recognition of his groundbreaking achievements in founding the field of paleogenomics. Pääbo, a specialist in evolutionary genomics and anthropology has contributed tremendously to our knowledge of the genetic ties between Neanderthals and modern humans through rigorous experiments and has "provided the basis for exploring what makes us uniquely human". Likewise outstanding is his discovery of a novel species of humans called the Denisovans using modern genomic techniques. In this article, we shall get to know about this genius and the implications of his research in physiology. Meet Svante Pääbo The new Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Svante Pääbo.

There is much excitement among the scientific community as to who will be awarded the Nobel prize in the sciences. I am far more excited. In this article, we shall examine how the understanding of animal behaviour and patterns at both individual and social levels can contribute to our comprehension of human psychology and disease states. This was the subject of the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1973 awarded to Nikolaas Tinbergen, Karl Von Frisch and Konrad Lorenz. In this article, we shall realize the mechanism and purpose of the waggle dance which is used by foraging bees to communicate with one another about the location of food sources.

He was particularly curious about the mechanism through which bees disseminate informatio
