They mean kidnapping people for slaves who interbred with their Norsemen captors left evidence? Surprise, surprise, surprise!

I guess they don’t need anymore “diversity” then

A surprising increase of variation during the Viking period indicates that gene flow into Scandinavia was especially intense during this period.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

All those slaves the Vikings brought back from Queensland!

And the Vikings made them row all the way over to Newfoundland!

Professor Anders Götherström at the Centre for Palaeogenetics, who is a senior scientist on the study, is intrigued: "Interestingly, the non-local ancestry peaks during the Viking period while being lower before and after. The drop in current levels of external ancestry suggests that the Viking-period migrants got less children, or somehow contributed proportionally less to the gene pool than the people who were already in Scandinavia."

Possibly the immigrants arrived during the Medieval warm period and did not do well when the climate turned colder in the little ice age.

This study can’t possibly be true. Haven’t we been told by all the current race hustlers and wokesters that the Vikings were always diverse and had black queens as their rulers?

The odd twist to the story, said researcher James Barrett, is that it was the selective killing of female newborns that led to a shortage of Scandinavian women in the first place, resulting later in intense competition over eligible women.

Where Do The Finns Come From?

"East Europeans have small teeth compared with the relatively large teeth of the Scandinavian, a peculiarity deriving from an age-old genetic distinction. Ancient skulls tell us that the early settlers of east Europe were mostly descendants of an ancient east European population which lived in prolonged isolation from the Scandinavians. Perhaps the "Siberian" element in Finnish genes is, in fact, east European in origin?"

Must have from all the raiding the vikings did
