A million Vikings still live among us
Almost one million Britons alive today are of Viking descent, despite the Norse warriors’ British rule ending more than 900 years ago. A study compared Y chromosome markers to estimated Viking DNA patterns. The Viking DNA patterns are rarely found outside Scandinavia. Men from the far north of Scotland were most likely to provide a direct match with almost a third (29.2%) of the men from the Shetland Islands testing positive for Viking blood.
