The prestigious award was announced by the the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden on Monday. Pääbo's research into ancient genes and the establishment of a new scientific discipline, paleogenomics, has been seminal in the quest to discover more about humanity's origins.

For example, Pääbo accomplished the sequencing of the genome of present-day human's extinct relative, the Neanderthal; discovered Denisova, an unknown hominin ("the group consisting of modern humans, extinct human species and all our immediate ancestors," according to the Australian Museum); and determined how ancient genes transferred from hominins to homo sapiens (that's us) and how it affects our physiological makeup.
