*Beethoven was not black. Nor was he a Jewish woman*Cell: Current Biology
Highlights
Eight locks of hair attributed to Ludwig van Beethoven underwent genomic analyses
We deemed five of these authentic and sequenced Beethoven’s genome to high coverage
Beethoven had a predisposition for liver disease and became infected with hepatitis B
We also discovered an extra-pair-paternity event in Beethoven’s paternal line

First, the researchers tested the Hiller lock. Because it turned out to be from a woman, it was not — could not be — Beethoven’s. Weird. In the 21st century, we believe that men can become women. Its all how one "identifies."

The Austrians are still trying to prove that Beethoven was Austrian, and Hitler was German.

Thanks yesthatjallen.
[snip] A famous lock of hair... was not Beethoven's. It was from an Ashkenazi Jewish woman... Beethoven did not have lead poisoning... Nor was he a Black man... a Flemish family in Belgium... last name van Beethoven... had no genetic ties to him... Beethoven had a predisposition for liver disease... [had] hepatitis B... [and] an extra-pair-paternity event in Beethoven's paternal line [/snip]

Since I’ve been here for 10+ years, I need only read the title before commenting.
And here’s what I want to know. Why all the interest in some big old dog?

They're trying to find out what happened to the big, hairy brute when he
