摘　　要：BACKGROUND On October 3,2022,Svante Paabo,a Swedish evolutionary geneticist,was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.This breaking news brought paleogenomics,the interdisciplinary field of geology and biology,to the forefront of public attention.By sequencing the genomes of the extinct Neanderthal and Denisovan,Prof.Paabo and his research team found that ancient gene flow events did happen between these extinct ancient humans and the ancestors of Homo sapiens(Prufer et al.,2017,2014;Fu et al.,2016;Meyer et al.,2012),which paved the way for the academic community for a new understanding of human evolutionary history.
