NICOLAUS COPERNICUS

Nicolaus Copernicus, the great astronomer who changed the perception of our world and laid the foundation for today‘s space science, was born on Baltic people land - the Prusai land of the 19th February 1473 in Torun.

His family came from a wealthy Torun bourgeois class. German nationalism of a bygone era tried to assign him, beyond any doubt, to the nation of the Germanic race. With the fall of the German fascism, so far they left Copernicus in peace.
With regard to the belonging of Copernicus, his orientation as well as the contacts, has been always with the Polish side.
So, it was like that with his parents. Copernicus never showed and did not leave any evidence of German descent. Confirmation of the above, his first education was at university of Sciences in Krakow, as well as its subsequent involvement in Olsztyn, while defending there the castle against the German knights.
But Copernicus was not a Pole. By today‘s standards, since he was born in Torun, acted in Prusai land, was among the Prusai people, therefore automatically ought to be regarded as Prus. Should that be denied, then the existence of Prusai people as such should not be recognized.
Poland’s crown worthily considered pro Polishness of Copernicus, in 1537 the Polish King, he staged his nomination for a bishop of Warmia.
Much earlier such support for Copernicus to the offices of Warmian canon came from the Prusai, an example is to be a Prus Andrew Klec the already influential Warmian canon.

It was noted that even in those days to promote the position of the offices, the support came from the same class of people, blood kinship or a national origin.
It should be emphasized, that the most active support for the post of the canon at Frombork was none other than Andrew Klec of noble lineage. The count did not come here with the same affinity or class origin of Copernicus, and could only be the same of national identity. Following behind this, both were combined in deep friendship.
The discovery of the crypt in the cathedral of Frombork with the remains of Nicolaus Copernicus and genetic studies of hair, found at university of Uppsala allowed not only to establish the true remains but also the determination of the Nicolaus Copernicus genetic code. According to these studies it was determined, that his genetic haplogroup is R1b1b2. In the past the results of genetic tests carried among the Prusai descendants, shown that this is the Haplogroup among the ancient inhabitants of the Pomesania land. The proto Celtic haplogroup that derives from the Gothic peoples, precisely the Gepedoios.
All this does not mean that we should exclude him from the Polish identity, from among Polish society, today it is nothing less than four million are descendants of the Prusai, who never accepted the German enslavement and voluntarily chose orientation of Polish culture.
