Nobel prize in medicine awarded for research on evolution

Deccan Chronicle  

STOCKHOLM: Swedish scientist Svante Paabo won this year's Nobel Prize in medicine Monday for his discoveries on human evolution that provided key insights into our immune system and what makes us unique compared with our extinct cousins, the award's panel said. This included the time when modern humans and Neanderthals diverged as a species, determined to be around 800,000 years ago, said Anna Wedell, chair of the Nobel Committee. Paabo is the son of Sune Bergstrom, who won the Nobel prize in medicine in 1982. The money comes from a bequest left by the prize's creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, who died in 1895.
