Not specifically related, but Stephan Schiffels (one of the lead authors) runs the Population Genetics group at Planck and has published lots of really great work in this area if anyone wants further reading.

This is really well done and easy for even me, as a non-geneticist, to follow.

I need a video. I just got confused. I read the Romans went all the way left to include GB and I have a Viking disease dupytrens, but I don't know if that was through their fighting or migration from Europe,

I read about Dupuytren's contracture. It's most common among older men "of Northern European extraction". Not necessarily "Viking" or any sort of Scandinavian, since the description also includes the areas of continental Europe that Germanic peoples are known to have migrated from in the Early Medieval Period (5th through 7th centuries).

Scandinavians began raiding England beginning in the 8th century, and by the 9th century had nearly conquered England. Alfred the Great established a settlement area called the Danelaw, and Scandinavians finally began to settle England in large numbers.

I hope you're getting effective treatment for your condition. It's not dangerous, but it can't be pleasant.

Interesting. My Irish hand dr called it the viking disease. Lol

Also mine started when I was in my 20's.

Yes. First treatment was done with an injection that dissolves collagen and then they force it to break. But they stopped importing it as the medical company wasn't making enough money from it.

Second lot was surgery which had worked really well.

Wow. That is early. But it's not exclusively "Viking", as I said, your hand doctor notwithstanding.

Great! I'm glad you're being effectively treated for it.

TIL Danes are genetically closer to North Germans than to Norwegians.

Seems kinda obvious no?

There has been a lot of criticism of this article for various different reasons, including small sample sizes compared to the conclusions they draw. Worth a Google, if you want to get a more balanced view after reading the article.

If you know of some critiques, why not post them here?

Anyway, since they were descerrned by color in the nice graphic, the descendants from Schleswig (Haitabu at the time) should be a similar color. And yes, the Haitabu guys would have been earlier Viking invaders, not Angles nor Saxons.

You start to see accurate population trends in sample sizes as low as 30. Trying to auto-dismiss articles and studies based on 'small sample size' is intellectually dishonest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem

Yes, and shame it burned to the ground. It must have been a spectacular and cosmopolitan place, relative to the time.

I wonder where Doggerland people would have clustered had they stayed in one place. Right in the middle of that map one might suppose - between purple and blue.

I wonder if this clarifies the assimilation or replacement debate. Looks like a ton of people made it to at least eastern England.
