Svante Pääbo, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, is the founder of palaeogenetics, a research discipline concerned with the analysis of genetic samples from fossils and prehistoric finds. Which of the genetic changes that occurred in the course of evolutionary history make up modern man is what Pääbo studies by comparing the DNA sequences of modern-day humans, Neanderthals and other human ancestors. His groundbreaking research has now earned him Japan Prize, which is endowed with mit 50 million Yen (approx. 490,000 euros).

In the competition for funding for outstanding research, the Eastern European states of the European Union perform poorly. It is a matter of utmost priority to ensure that the Southern and Eastern Europe member states are brought on board: not least because they would benefit from the establishment of excellence also in terms of economic power.
