Italian researchers announced today that they “think” they have found the bones of famed Italian Renaissance artist Caravaggio.  They are not 100% sure because he did not have any children and the DNA they recovered is degraded.  I guess this is kind of a neat story but I wonder what concrete knowledge this gives us other than now being able to point at a grave and say he is buried there.  I guess to me the most amazing part is that they did the work and managed to find any remains at all that they can get an 85% certainty from.  Apparently e was buried in a paupers grave and his remains were mixed with those of several other people, if no dozens of other people.
