When Svante Pääbo began high school in 1971, his father gave him this two-volume encyclopaedia of technology and science. His father, Sune Bergström was a professor of chemistry and would later receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Perhaps he was disappointed that his son had chosen to study the humanities instead of the natural sciences. Could the encyclopaedia be a nice way of saying goodbye to science? But things worked out differently. Svante Pääbo returned to the sciences. Forty years after his father, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research on the relationship between modern humans and long-extinct hominins.
Svante Pääbo donated the books to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2022. - Location
