DNA Analysis Indicates Christopher Columbus Wasn't Italian

I had actually read that he was a Spanish converso (Jews that converted to Christianity prior to the Spanish Inquisition), and timed his initial voyage to miss a crackdown on conversos.

The Inquisition knew that a lot of the converts were secretly still practicing Jews, but converted so they wouldn’t be attacked.

I guess I’m not surprised by this news then.
