A recent study has been conducted with the aim of uncovering the true origins of renowned explorer Christopher Columbus. For centuries, Columbus’s nationality has been a subject of much debate among historians. While it was traditionally believed that Columbus hailed from Genoa, Italy, some theories propose that he might have originated from Spain, Portugal, or even Scotland. Employing modern technology such as genetic testing on Columbus’s descendants, the study attempts to settle the debate. The results could rewrite history, providing fresh insights into the background of the man who is credited with discovering the Americas for Europeans.
