Forty years later, Svante P\u00e4\u00e4bo received the same prize. But in the 1970s, it was not at all obvious that his son Svante would take an interest in science. He had chosen to study history and Egyptology. Chemistry professor Sune Bergstr\u00f6m gave his son a two-volume encyclopaedia of science and technology, as a kind of farewell gift to the natural sciences. And perhaps a seed was sown with the help of these books, because eventually P\u00e4\u00e4bo returned to science. His path from the humanities to genetics went via Egyptology: It was the DNA of mummies that led to his first major scientific breakthrough. Over the years, the books from his father have been an inspiration to P\u00e4\u00e4bo and have reminded him of his love of science.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","galley":[{"ID":28583,"id":28583,"title":"ASV0038-2","filename":"ASV0038-2-1-scaled.jpg","filesize":276327,"url":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ASV0038-2-1-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/en\/nobel-prize-museum-is-displaying-books-from-svante-paabo\/asv0038-2-3\/","alt":"","author":"9","description":"","caption":"\u00a9 Nobel Prize Outreach.
