Jose Antonio Lorente, a forensic scientist involved in the controversial DNA analysis, claimed Columbus was a Sephardic Jew, challenging the long-held belief that he was Genoese.
Experts warn that the unsubstantiated conclusions presented in the documentary could tarnish the broader scientific community, as rigorous verification and peer-reviewed analysis were absent from the claims.
The film 'Columbus DNA: His True Origins,' aired on October 12 and attracted over two million viewers, but lacks critical independent review or expert opinions to validate Lorente's claims.
Scientists express alarm over the release of Columbus' DNA claims through a documentary, arguing that it undermines the established scientific methods of independent validation and peer review.
