I'll look into it later, but apparently the ''explanations'' given in the OP are part of Peterski's obsession of denying any Germanic genetic and cultural exclusiveness and transforming all Germanic peoples in mongrelized Poles.

Population size of Scandinavia around year 1 AD (source: estimates by Angus Maddison):

Denmark - 180,000
Sweden - 200,000
Norway - 100,000
Sure, 500 years later it was certainly more, but still much less than Britain and Ireland.

When are these R1a dated? R1a CTS1211 is very common in albania and greece.

I been saying Z280/M458 would pop up. Some of the later ones were probably Varangian guard from Kievan Rus.

Doesn’t matter. They participated in the same Viking raids. One was from the Varangian era too. You forget a lot of Vikings in Byzantium were incorporated from Kievan Rus. They were not homogeneous when it comes to those who participated in raids.
It illustrates my point that lineages were absorbed and moved with different cultures. Opposite the tunnel vision approach most have for how these lines moved around.

Were people really surprised that there would be foreigners among the Vikings?
Instead of discussing how many outliers and where they were from I'm more interested in the BA > IA > Viking Age transition in Southern Scandinavia and whether the Scandinavian regions could be differentiated autosomally by the early Viking Age.

Let’s wait until we get gedmatch kits for this guys. Litvinski you’re pretty good with posting those kits as they become available so please update this thread if you get a hold of them.
