Leonardo's Vitruvian Man

[Judge Bean]

Whose bones are in Grant’s Tomb? Ha.

[webheart]

It sounds ridiculous. How do they know that these six people are in any way descended from relatives of Leonardo da Vinci? It’s been 700 years. It would serve to prove that the people were not related to da Vinci if none of them matched the bones.

1. Why would they even START to wonder this?

2. Why is THIS article in Popular Mechanics?

These are the sort of questions that keep me up at night 🤨

This only works id Da Vinci’s father is actually the man his mother said was the father.

If there is no match, we simply won’t know if it’s not his bones or not his putative father.

Well, I for one couldn’t care less who’s bones are in some ancient grave.
