Discover why Norwegian DNA is so unique in this comprehensive genetic history of Norway. We analyze the ancient ancestry of the Scandinavian population, from Mesolithic hunter-gatherer haplogroups to the Indo-European migrations and the Viking Age expansion that shaped the modern Norwegian genome.

I am from an island north of Haugesund. South of the Island, it was a very little Island, who had a.hard stone art, called greenstone. They made axes of that stone. Those axes Get spread around and some came Even to east Norway. It was a great help to have axes to many things whatever They were doing. You can find such axes in a historical museum in Bergen. The Island was Bømlo.

A couple myths here. No, the original steppe herders did not bring horses. All domesticated horses in the world can be traced back to the Sintashta culture, a separate offshoot of the Corded Ware culture many centuries later. No, the Sami have not been around in Northern Scandinavia for 9000 years. Their maternal ancestors were there, but the men and their language came to northern Norway around 2000 years ago, long after the Indo-Europeans settled in southern Norway.

The Sami people was Nomads from Ural in Russian and arrived in Scandinavia 1500 -- 2000 year ago.A verry small group

There came a lot of swedes 100-200 years sometimes with a finnish descent to Norway... Norway needed skilled workers... Sometimes you can suspect a heritage from the name like Örjan which is an old swedish name or Holmgren from the north etc.., people called Glenn are often from Gothenburg area etc...

My paternal haploid group is gather hunter like nearly 40% of Norwegian men. So that DNA is still important here. And yes: I have dark skin, dark eyes and not tall..like many of my relatives.

MUMIES in EGYPT has BLUE EYES . So has BUDDHA . NORWEGIANS had to move SOUTH...when the EIS-AGE CAME....First when GREENLAND became Green again The NORDIC PEOPLE went back to THEIR OWN HOMELAND- which is HOLY LAND FOR THEM, as HOLY LAND is where THE NATURAL GOD-GIVEN UNIVERSAL LAW HAS PLACED PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT PLACES ON EART _: WHERE THEY ARE BEST FITTED TO CLIMATE, TEMPERATURES, WIND, SNOW, RAIN - OR IN A DESSET OR IN A JUNGEL. NOT ALL PEOPLE GOES TOGETRHER AND CAN LIVE IN HARMONY WITH THEMSELVES AND PEOPLE FROM ANOTHER CLIMATE SONE ON EART. THIS IS I SUGGEST AN JEFFREY EPSTEIN & CO- KIND OF GOVERNANCE _ WHICH IS NOT NEW _ BUT INTENSIFIED BY KEISERS; KINGS AND A BABYLONIAN MONEY SYSTEM WHICH IS DESIGNED TO CREAT WARS; MISERY RUINS FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE -. SINCE THE NAPOLEAN III WARS - always in EUROPA and after he lost his THRONE.

Nonsense, this DNA is not unique. It's humans, previously (not so much now) adapted to certain conditions, many of them geographical and related to climate, certain types of food gathering etc. As happens with people all over the world. In deserts, in ice-covered Greenland, etc. There's nothing very special here in that sense. Tall people, so what? That's just matter of fact. The mind needs more fulfilling things than that to reflect and focus on.

There are no such things as Norwegian DNA.. Most of the Norwegians are a mix of the germanic tribes. DNA and invented nationality therm are two different things.
