My comment is the same as the first time this story was posted:

Very Euro-centric. Who’s to say she didn’t get their on her own? Perhaps a bunch of Native Americans “discovered” Iceland and left behind some of their DNA. Since there is no historic record, it is just as possible.

Is it also “Euro-Centric” to think that birch-bark canoes wouldn’t last very long in the North Atlantic? LOL

I did a search and NOTHING came back. Perhaps the article you read had a different title?

Well, given that there is no record of Indians with trans-Atlantic capability, and given that the Vikings did have such capability, it is unlikely that a canoe of fertile female Indians paddeled to Iceland.

And, the Indians were literally “Stone Age Peoples” and the Vikings had metal weapons.

There is a difference between possibilities and probabilities.

American aborigines never discovered a damned thing but how to eat each other.
