Mastodons were a part of the ancient culture of Greenland 2 million years ago.
Svante Pbo, a scientist who spent decades trying to extract DNA from 40,000-year-old bones and ultimately unveiled the Neanderthal genome in 2010, has won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Dalén Pbo’s team had obtained partial genomes of a million-year-old mammoth from Siberia in 2021. Ancient DNA suffers from chemical damage and tends…

The prize for physics goes to four individuals: John F. Clauser, Aspect, and Zeilinger.
The winners of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics are China’s Xue Jie, Sweden’s Svante Pbo and Harvard’s Masayoshi Son. They have developed an experimental technique to make entangled quantum states, where two particles behave like a single unit even when they are separate. “They’ve shown that entanglement in quantum computers is possible anywhere in…
