The genetic legacy in the UK has left the population with up to six per cent Viking DNA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you're refering to ancestry test and misinterpreting the results? Do you actually know what the readings state mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you actually know what the readings state mate? If you looking at the DNA of the UK it gets very complex. DNA map of Ireland reveals the Irish have Viking and Norman ancestry and are far more genetically diverse than previously thought It reveals lasting contributions from British, Scandinavian and French invasions Researchers compared genetic data from 1,000 Irish and 2,000 British people They found 50 distinct genetic clusters, separated by geographical boundaries These are most distinct in western Ireland, but less pronounced in the east The findings are significant because they could be used in future studies to identify the underlying genetics of various diseases in specific regions The Irish are much more genetically diverse than previously believed and have Viking and Norman ancestry - just like the English, according to new research. A comprehensive DNA map of the people of the Emerald Isle has for the first time revealed lasting contributions from British, Scandinavian and French invasions. Researchers have discovered 23 genetic 'groups' in Ireland and 27 groups in England, Scotland and Wales. The findings are significant because they could be used in future studies to identify the genetics underlying various traits and diseases in specific regions. An estimated million people worldwide claim Irish descent - almost half of them Americans who regard it as their main ethnicity. It has long been assumed this means the blood in their veins is Celtic - but geneticists now say the truth is much more complicated. Got to love copy and paste Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got to love copy and paste Lol 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.

Reg Vardy 16 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you go to Anglesey. go to the old church yard on Holy Island, There are a disproportionate amount of Hughes and Pritchard buried there. Because there was no bridge connecting it to the mainland in the time these people lived, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.
