Was their last known location of habitation in Europe?

Was their last known location of habitation in Europe?

I want to punt on this one and not count it, because I think the answer for Person B is probably yes, but he travels so much that I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is no. In any event, Person A did die in Europe.

[Hominidae]

Born on the island of Great Britain?

This is hard because our questions may be useful for one, but not the other (like my earlier question about date of birth). Questions spent pinning down what kind of artist B was will be wastes for A.

There's actually a way around that with logical connectives, if you think about it...

Ouff. This could get complicated. There is a reason I'm not a coder. But let me try.

Is this person either born 1700-1770 and a scientist; or a musician who has released a top ten album or single since Jan 1, 2020?

Person A: This person was awarded a specific title that may be relevant here. I have been researching whether or not this title made him part of the nobility of the awarding country. I believe the answer to be "no", but maybe someone after the game who knows more than I do about 18th/19th Europe will correct me.

Person B: No.

Tricky one, this. If not for the not born in Ireland thing I'd have been tempted to guess they were Francis Bacon... Going to have to sleep on it...
