    Default American Indian sailed to Europe with Vikings?

    AMERICAN INDIAN SAILED TO EUROPE WITH VIKINGS?
    AUGUST 5, 2019


    Analyzing a type of DNA passed only from mother to child, scientists found more than 80 living Icelanders with a genetic variation similar to one found mostly in Native Americans.

    This signature probably entered Icelandic bloodlines around A.D. 1000, when the first Viking-American Indian child was born, the study authors theorize.



    Historical accounts and archaeological evidence show that Icelandic Vikings reached Greenland just before 1000 and quickly pushed on to what is now Canada. Icelanders even established a village in Newfoundland, though it lasted only a decade or so

    But what is not known for certain is how a family of Icelanders came to have a genetic makeup which includes a surprising marker dating to 1000 A.D. — one which is found mostly in Native Americans.



    In 2010, it was reported that the first Native Americans arrived on the continent of Europe sometime around the 11th century. The study, led by deCODE Genetics, a world-leading genome research lab in Iceland, discovered a unique gene that was present in only four distinct family lines.

    The DNA lineage, which was named C1e, is mitochondrial, meaning that the genes were introduced by and passed down through a female.

    Based on the evidence of the DNA, it has been suggested that a Native American, (voluntarily or involuntarily) accompanied the Vikings when they returned back to Iceland.

    Very interesting, perhaps there had been some previous relations between the Native Americans and the Icelanders.

    It seems more likely than the Icelanders just grabbing up some native woman, as they were Christians at that point.
    Although that is also possible.

    I guess it was either that or marrying your cousin back then. Might explain faces such as Bjork's
