New genetic studiy on Vikings shows unexpected high S. European admixture

[Red Pill]

... and the pseudo-leftist media are already going apeshit writing triumphantly that Vikings myths are exploded: they were not all blond (like if anybody thought that) and not all Scandinavian, but they had a lot of Southern European and East Asian admixture. In reality the East Asian connection comes from a few individuals with Sami origin, which is not surprising. The amount of Southern European DNA is indeed higher than expected, but it generally comes from trade centers in Southern Scandinavia and Baltic islands, which of course must have had a number of foreign traders, slaves, mercs etc. The study shows that out of 182 individuals from Scandinavian locations (including the Faeroer and Iceland) 14 had at least 40% S. European blood (using Italians from Foggia as proxy for S. Europeans). They also had a significantly higher % of genes for black hair compared to present day Scandinavians. You can read the study at: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2688-8#Sec35
but much of the relevant info is in the supplementary information and extended data, that you can open from the same link.

Yeah, they're so obsessed with the Vikings, it's ridiculous. Going out of their way trying to prove they were black, brown, Asian, Muslim, multicultural, etc.

I doubt most of the Southern Euro they've estimated will turn out to be actual Southern Euro/Italian admix.

So Vikings were Sicilians after all...
Well not surprised, the Mafiosi from north, makes sense.

Be prepared then for Balkanites claiming the Vikings

Tyrkland confirmed

Nordicist were right when they claimed Romans and Greeks from antiquity were Nordics, hahaha
