Gotcha.. incidentally, there happen to be more than one books by the same title (a history of the vikings).. which one do you recommend ?
The "blood type" thread the other night demonstrated that most Scanderhoovians have A+ type blood. The Sa'ami in the far North have the greatest incidence in the world coming in at anywhere from 50% to 90%.
Further South on the peninsula it drops down to 35%.
Notice that Denmark has a far lower percentage of A+ type blood. That's because they aren't really the same people.
Remember what I said about slavery, and Scandinavian Vikings selling even their daughters ~ we must still explain why it is Danes speak a modern version of Old West Gothic ~ and there it is ~ mothers teach their language to their children.
Must have been one heck of a lot of women sold to the Danes to have their base language changed.
