Александр Панчин — Фантастические биотехнологии и где они обитают


. Воскрешение динозавров, клонирование, создание искусственных вирусов и генная модификация человека — эти и другие темы поднимались фантастами в книгах, фильмах и компьютерных играх. Какие фантастические биотехнологии ждут нас в будущем, а какие уже реальны? В чем правы, а в чем ошибались фантасты?

Михаил Гельфанд. Опасные связи или роман в генах: кроманьонцы, неандертальцы и денисовцы


Совместный проект «Лекторий Cколтеха в Полит.ру».

Онлайн-лекция Михаила Гельфанда — доктора биологических наук, профессора, члена Европейской Академии, вице президента Сколтеха по биомедицинским исследованиям и заведующего лабораторией в Институте проблем передачи информации им. Харкевича РАН. Текст лекции можно прочесть здесь: polit.ru/article/2020/10/20/gelfandlec2020/

Несколько десятков тысяч лет назад на территории Евразии жили три разных группы людей: кроманьонцы, неандертальцы и денисовцы. Кроманьонцы – наши предки, вышедшие из Африки 70 тысяч лет назад. Неандертальцы тоже наши предки, как и денисовцы. Все они «встречались» между собой, заводили семьи и, конечно, рожали детей. Эти «Les Liaisons dangereuses» (опасные связи) записаны в наших геномах и геномах древних людей, которые удалось прочитать ученым.

Профессор Михаил Гельфанд расскажет свою версию известного романа, а мы с вами попробуем разобраться в опасных связях наших дальних родственников и найти ответы на волнующие вопросы: кто те люди, которые стояли у истоков человека разумного? Что с ними произошло в процессе биологической эволюции? И какое отношение они имеют к нам, живущим в XXI веке? Подписывайтесь на нас в социальных сетях!
