Uncovering Beethoven's Genetic Musical Predisposition

New research into Beethoven's DNA reveals that he did not inherit his musical talent, as his genetic predisposition for beat synchronization and general musicality ranked low compared to modern samples. The study, conducted by researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Max Planck Institutes, highlights the limitations of DNA tests in predicting musical abilities and emphasizes the significant role of environmental factors in developing musical talent.
