14 living people are related to Leonardo da Vinci: study
Gizmodo reported. The finding is the result of a decade of research by Vezzosi and co-author Agnese Sabato, which not only answers lingering questions about da Vinci’s genealogy but corrects some errors in previous research.The living descendants are all the products of da Vinci’s relatives, including at least 22 half-brothers, as the polymath had no children.Researchers hope the data can help connect how da Vinci’s genius, premature aging and left-handedness were potentially linked to his genetics and geographical origins.
