Listen "Cracking the Da Vinci Code: DNA"
Episode Synopsis
Explore the high-tech world of the Leonardo da Vinci DNA project. Researchers are using DNA from hair and potential remains, comparing it to living male-line relatives identified by genealogy. This project, using Y-DNA just like modern testers, aims to confirm identity, find genetic clues about genius, or authenticate art. It's a powerful example of how DNA and historical research combine to bring famous figures and your own ancestors to life beyond just names and dates.
