   Did Vikings have Scandinavian ancestry?

   • The results showed that Viking identity didn’t always equate to Scandinavian ancestry. Just before the Viking Age (around 750 to 1050 A.D.), for instance, people from Southern and Eastern Europe migrated to what is now Denmark, introducing DNA more commonly associated with the Anatolia region.

   Was Viking identity influenced by Scandinavian genetic ancestry?

   • Viking identity was not limited to people with Scandinavian genetic ancestry. The study shows the genetic history of Scandinavia was influenced by foreign genes from Asia and Southern Europe before the Viking Age. Early Viking Age raiding parties were an activity for locals and included close family members.

   Did Scandinavians have a strong ancestry?

   • “To have backup for that from DNA is powerful.” Overall, the scientists found that people who lived in Scandinavia exhibited high levels of non-Scandinavian ancestry, pointing to a continuous exchange of genetic information across the broader European continent. Contrary to popular belief, Vikings weren't simply blonde, seafaring Scandinavians.

   Sep 16, 2020 · Outside of Scandinavia, the genetic legacy can also be seen. The article notes: A small Scandinavian ancestry component is present in Poland (up to 5%). Within the British Isles, it is difficult to assess how much of the Danish-like ancestry is due to pre-existing Anglo-Saxon ancestry, but the Viking Age contribution does not exceed 6% in England.
