The surreal journey of Dalí's legs in a cardboard box: a window into the DNA of human creativity

Geneticist Antonio Alonso proposes analyzing Salvador Dalí's DNA to uncover insights into his creativity after exhuming his remains for a paternity test. Despite confirming no relation to Pilar Abel, Alonso believes studying Dalí's genetic material could reveal aspects of his personality. He recalls Dalí's fascination with DNA, which he viewed as a divine memory. The proposal, initially dismissed due to political tensions, is now being reconsidered following a related exhibition. The Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation remains cautious about the ethical implications of such research.
