Last year i decide to buy some pencils and a sketchbook, I haven't drawn anything for over two decades, it certainly isn't like riding a bike. I gave it a bash for a week or two, definitely no Picasso!

Why lying for?

The Icelandic people have a database app that shows how related they are, given the small gene pool it's quite useful before you "slip it in."
-
Of course it's all relative, we are all intertwined, it's just that the links aren't all as strong as we think.

It's fascinating stuff isn't it? Another interesting subject is the people of Iceland, they have some of the most genetically isolated people on earth so give a much better picture of Scandinavian DNA types than the people of Britain who are full of admixture. The genealogy of virtually every Icelandic settler is recorded in the Icelandic Sagas, the fact that they have been isolated for so long and given their small population size it makes It so much easier to read. mtDNA and the Y chromosome shows that Scandinavian males bred with Scottish & Irish women and their offspring

Come on mate, nobody likes a tell-tale. Less of the ad hominem. The fact that the Vikings didn't leave a strong genetic mark goes to show how complicated human history is and doesn't always follow archeological narratives.

Didn't stop Wilfred from making his pilgrimage to Rome.

No mate they will get the pots & pans out and knock themselves up a fry up.

And another myth is that before the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, Britain was completely homogenized with Celts. The truth is these Celtic tribes were genetically different, even Celts of North Wales were genetically different to the Celts of South Wales, the same for the Cornish and people from Devon. In fact some of the Celts are more different than some are to the English.

I have just checked, your 6% figure claim from the 2015 study I'm citing. It basically states that only 6% of Brits have Viking DNA. The lack of a genetic trace is very telling, they came and conquered but they didn't really integrate and mate with the Anglo-Saxons of Britain, the same happened with the later Norman conquest.
-
I assume you're refering to ancestry test and misinterpreting the results? Do you actually know what the readings state mate?
-
It's true, the only people that have left a strong genetic imprint on Britain since the time of Christ were the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings didn't.

They certainly didn't leave a substantial mark in our DNA.
-
The Vikings didn't leave much genetic traces in mainland Britain, the only substantial genetic traces were in the Orkney's.

Like most, not busy enough.

Well in Big G, now can you find us a big cat FFS.

You can't see the wood for the trees pal.

A set of work shy SOB's on here! I look forward to working until my mid 90's, we have an ageing population, why not contribute for the good of the nation?
