Uxolo, uChris Hessonworth noTravis Fimmel, uCopenhagen University bashicilele imiphumela yocwaningo lwe-DNA Viking yakhe. Futhi kuvela ukuthi amaViking amaningi ayengewona ama-blond kanye nama-eked aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ngokusho kwezinganekwane nesiko le-pop. Izinwele ezimnyama namehlo amnyama ahlangana kaningi.
Ucwaningo lumboze izinsalela ezingama-442 zamaViking ezingcwatshwe kusukela ngo-2400 kuya enkathini yethu kuya ku-1600 wesikhathi sethu. Futhi ukhombise ukwehlukahlukana kofuzo okukhulu kunangaphambili. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi ama-blond amancanyana amnyama kanye nokuhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, kepha futhi ukuqhathanisa izakhi zofuzo kufakazele ukuthi amaViking kwakungeyona iqembu lobuhlanga elihlukile, kodwa babeyinhlanganisela yamaqembu "aqhamuka kubazingeli - abaqoqi, abalimi kanye nenani labantu base-Yurasia." Izindawo ezahlukahlukene zofuzo - eyodwa eDenmark kanti munye eSweden Islands Getland no-Eland - iningi kungenzeka ukuthi lalikhona izikhungo ezinkulu zokuthenga.
I-Science Magazine, ngokubhekisele e-Archaeologist kat Jarman ibika ukuthi ukuba yi-Viking ngaleso sikhathi kwakusho indlela yokuphila noma umsebenzi, futhi kungeyona eyezinhlanga ezithile:
Ama-skeleton amabili e-wiking, angcwatshwe eziqhingini ezisenyakatho yeScotland, ama-Scots amsulwa noma i-Ireland kusuka endaweni yokubuka izakhi zofuzo, ngaphandle kwethonya laseScandinavia. Abantu abaningana eNorway bangcwatshwa njengama-vikings, kepha izinhlobo zabo zibakhomba njengeSaami, iqembu lobuhlanga, eduze kwabase-Asia kunabaseYurophu.
