Research on Columbus' origin faces the final stretch with the study of his DNA

Columbus will be E1B

By this time at least the haplogroups should already know them.

Some news about Columbus' genetic results may have been leaked, since in Galicia they have rushed to exhume the remains of a Galician nobleman.

Exhuming the Sotomayor to check if Christopher Columbus was a Galician nobleman
A team of anthropologists extract the bones from a 14th-15th century sarcophagus in a church in Tuy (Pontevedra). The promoter of the project, convinced that Columbus was actually Pedro Álvarez de Sotomayor, intends to compare the DNA with that of the discoverer's family.

This is a scandal now!!!!

How long has it been?

It is clear that the result must have been non-Italian.

The Spanish-speaking community with hundreds of millions of people want to know the origin of Columbus beyond any deception of an ethnic minority of any country.

The whole world wants to know the origin of Columbus.

I have been waiting for this results for a long time, If he is not italian he surely would be portuguese.

These things are always delayed, I just hope it comes out this year

No se tarda tanto tiempo y menos si lo están tratando diferentes laboratorios de todo el mundo, sí indica que por alguna razón un resultado inesperado y que alguien no ha aceptado tiene el asunto paralizado, por ese motivo digo que es más relevante Colón para la hispanidad que el hecho que una minoría étnica italo-americana se hubiese apropiado de la figura de Colón y ese hecho ahora con resultados frustrados y frustrantes para esa minoría étnica fuesen la causa del estancamiento en que salieran los resultados.

There is no conspiracy behind it, and no one cares too much about the feelings of Italian-Americans.

probably not, but how do you know?

in any case I dont found relevant the ethnicity of Colón, or at least not very relevant.

I know this through common sense.

The consensus is that he was Ligurian, then as you also said finding out that he was Iberian instead of Italian wouldn't really change anything for both Iberians and Italians. The very existence of a genetic study to discover his origins is unknown to most of us.
