Can they please take samples from living humans and compare them -- compare the tissue from the brains of say einstein (I think its in a jar some place) to some other modern "great brain" -- and compare them between musk and bezos (as an example of two successful, 'peers' currently living)

Does having rich parents at the right place and time really put you in the same category as someone like Einstein, who changed humanity's entire view of reality and the nature of the universe?

I am more interested in seeing if, for example --

You compare the nerons of the father of einstein, with einstein -- then a peer of einstein and their father (or mother/whatever)

To determin if neural pathways are genetic in such a way that we currently dont understand - and if theyse pathways are similar in anyway between two different persons with similar level of intellect.

Bezos is more like a garage startup founder though.

Putting aside if this is a good idea at all, I think Terrance Tao might be a better comparison for Einstein?
