The world's oldest DNA: Extinct beasts of ancient Greenland
Two million year-old DNA found in frozen soil has been sequenced, revealing a surprising picture of an ancient landscape. Extinct creatures including, unexpectedly, elephant-like mastadons turn out to be among the beasts roaming Greenland. Researcher Eske Willerslev explains how DNA found in the environment can be used to reconstruct the past as so-called 'eDNA' becomes a vital tool for palaeontologists.

Why Human History Teaches us to Travel | Eske Willerslev | TEDxKEA
The clues to our history, our heritage and our evolution are hidden in the genes of our ancestors. Could two groundbreaking inventions that have catapulted the human imagination have been discovered simultaneously in different locations? Or is the secret to our evolution our ancestors' migration? Eske passionately recounts that it was the travels of our ancestors that changed the world - let him inspire you to pack a suitcase and journey out in the wide world of adventure"
Eske Willerslev is known worldwide for his groundbreaking research in ancient DNA, which has re-written history on multiple occasions. Drawing comparisons to Indiana Jones, Eske has travelled the most remote places imaginable, finding clues about out past in the hair of 15,000-year-old corpses. For his ability to commun...

Discovery of 2-million-year-old DNA in Greenland reveals new details about ancient life
Scientists working in Greenland identified the oldest samples of DNA ever found on earth. By analyzing the two-million year old genetic material, they’ve revealed how northern Greenland was once a wildly different environment than the cold, polar region it is today. Project researcher Eske Willerslev joined William Brangham to discuss the discovery.

Eske Willerslev: Hvor stammer vi fra?
Foredrag om 'Hvor stammer vi fra?`' i samtalerækken “Det vi ved – det vi kan”. Folkevandringer og masser af sex har gjort os til dem vi er. Hvordan kan sex være nøglen til at få bedre integration? Hvorfor gør mælk os danskere til noget særligt? Og hvad adskiller vikingerne fra vores andre forfædre? Få svar på disse spørgsmål og meget mere, når DNA-detektiven Eske Willerslev dykker ned i den nyeste forskning i vores forfædre.
Samtalerækken "Det vi ved – det vi kan” er udviklet i samarbejde mellem Politiken, Københavns Universitet og Carlsbergfondet med støtte fra Carlsberg Mindelegat. Forelæsningen foregik på Københavns Universitet tirsdag d. 25. April 2017.

For cirka 11.000 år siden, da mennesket første gang vandrede fra Afrika til Europa og Asien, var den nordlige halvkugle præget af et steppelandskab fuld af store pattedyr, som mammutter, næsehorn, løver og hyæner. I hvert fald indtil den seneste istid, som ændrede klimaet radikalt over en kort årerække.

Var det mennesket eller klimaforandringer, der gav dødsstødet til mammutter, uldhårede næsehorn og sabelkatte? Forskere har diskuteret det i over hundrede år og er stadig ikke enige.
For cirka 11.000 år siden, da mennesket første gang vandrede fra Afrika til Europa og Asien, var den nordlige halvkugle præget af et steppelandskab fuld af store pattedyr, som mammutter, næsehorn, løver og hyæner. I hvert fald indtil den seneste istid, som ændrede klimaet radikalt over en kort årerække.
Professor Eske Willerslev er efter omfattende DNA-studier af permafrostprøver og indsamlede knogler fra fortidsdyrene overbevist om, at klimaet var hovedårsagen til, at dyrene forsvandt. Lokalt har menneskets jagt kunnet påvirke bestanden, men andre steder har der slet ikke været mennesker på den tid. Samtidig viser studierne en tydelig sammenhæng mellem antallet af dyr og ændringer i klimaet og vegetationen.
Willerslevs forskning trækker også tråde til den aktuelle klimakrise. Vi går en usikker fremtid i møde. Tidligere klimaforandringer viser, at vi ikke kan forudsige, hvilke konsekvenser temperaturstigningerne har for klodens økosystemer. Måske får vi et middelhavslignende klima i Danmark, hvor vi kan dyrke vin og oliven. Og måske bliver virkeligheden en helt anden.
Eske Willerslev er DNA-forsker, professor og leder af Københavns Universitets Center for GeoGenetik. Han er medlem af Eventyrernes Klub og modtog Rosenkjærprisen i 2012.
