Your DNA Story Matches: Viking

A landmark 2020 study in Nature by Margaryan and colleagues sequenced 442 genomes from Viking-age skeletons across Europe and Greenland — and found the Viking world was far more genetically mixed than the raiders-and-longships image suggests. Many individuals buried with Viking-style weapons and grave goods carried significant Sami, British, or Irish ancestry. Your answers landed closest to the profile associated with this population.
