On the trail of Leonardo Da Vinci

New studies confirm that Leonardo Da Vinci felt synesthesia, it is a variation of human perception, synaesthetic people automatically and involuntarily experience the activation of an additional sensory or cognitive pathway, in response to specific stimuli, in simpler terms. , they can see colors when they hear a musical note or perceive touch when they taste a food or vice versa, hear colors, taste with touch and other combinations with the senses.

Leonardo did not leave anything written about this sensation, but it can be investigated by analyzing his genes. These assumptions are based on texts, drawings, indirect ways of analyzing Leonardo's figure, but there is research that directly searches for Leonardo's body. Leonardo to be able to analyze his genes, we are not very sure that the body that is buried in France is that of Leonardo, the bone remains that remain there, but there has been an investigation that has searched for the genes of Leonardo's relatives in July 2021 A work was published that lasted 10 years, it has not been easy.

A work carried out by researchers Alessandro Vezzosi and Agnese Sabato where they analyzed 21 generations of Leonardo's relatives, starting from his ancestors in 1331 through his parents Piero Fruosino a Florentine notary and Catrina a young peasant woman and continued to the present day and have discovered to 14 relatives of Leonardo who are currently alive, relatives of Leonardo because Leonardo did not have children, but his father gave him several stepbrothers up to 12, thanks to this analysis can be carried out to trace the artist's DNA, beginning by confirming that his remains that are on the tomb with his name in the Amboise castle in France are his.

You can also find out certain things such as the strabismus he had, his physical dexterity, also another doubt that researchers have about his premature aging, he died at the age of 67, but for a long time he looked much older, it was also known if he was stupid , his diet would be known, according to The Chronicles he was a vegetarian, it can also be found out if he suffered from a hereditary disease or if his vision had a special characteristic such as combining the senses.

This is an open investigation, the results may arrive in the next few years. Remember that locating Leonardo's living relatives has involved ten years of work, now we must analyze the bones from the tomb in France, compare them and connect the DNA of these living relatives of Leonardo. Leonardo to analyze all these factors that could influence what Leonardo was like and what physical characteristic he could have.

Why is the figure of Leonardo so important, because he lived in the Renaissance, since the Middle Ages or The Dark Ages have been suffered by all civilizations at different times and not all at the same time, scientists know that cycles occur in civilizations , each culture has a cycle of what it progresses in, a cycle of splendor and other cycles that go downwards, towards a dark age, and sometimes they resume after a few centuries and prosperity and splendor return and in others they are not overcome. Those Dark Ages are a topic that intrigues scientists and in the Renaissance a new cycle began, a cycle of prosperity that has taken us until now, we have not stopped, we have not stopped progressing from the Renaissance to the present day.

This does not mean centuries or perhaps in a few years we will enter a new Dark Age, which is why researchers are so intrigued by knowing the reasons why these cycles occur, why a civilization, a culture, prospers and why it ends up sinking. , precisely to avoid that, that we end up in another dark age.
