This is a very initial genealogy, considering my advisors' advisors, and the advisors of them. For building this genealogy, I based myself on information provided by ChatGPT. Therefore, it still might require further validation. It is also important to remark, that according to the sources reported for this analogy, in many cases it is not possible to talk about a doctoral advisor in the full sentence of the expression, but about academic advisor or mentor.
In any case, the process of achieving a doctoral degree has been made possible through the work of different professors across the centuries. Someday, I hope to complete this genealogy, with a possibly more complete history, to try determining where it all began. In any case, my historical gratitude to all these people. The good features I might have as an academic and researcher, become ultimately an inheritance and legacy received from them.
