Scientists cast doubt on claims Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew from Spain
Briefly

In the documentary Columbus DNA, forensic scientist Jose Antonio Lorente presents a theory suggesting that Columbus was not Italian but Spanish and Jewish, a claim lacking scientific support.
Lorente systematically discounts other theories about Columbus's origins, ultimately reaching the conclusion proposed by Francesc Albardaner that Columbus was a Sephardic Jew, raised in a Jewish family.
Francesc Albardaner, suffering from leukemia, expresses fear of dying without finishing his theory on Columbus’s Jewish origins, to which Lorente expresses optimism about its validity.
Geneticist Antonio Alonso remains skeptical about Lorente’s claims, indicating that from a scientific perspective, there is no substantial evidence to support the new theory.
