It's crazy how one of the BIG mysteries now seem to have been solved of what really happened in Scandinavia upon the onslaught of the Indo-European expansion into early pre Bronze Age Europe. For some reason several groups of tall hunter-gatherers men in Northern Scandinavia survived, unlike almost all other places in Europe, and eventually blended in with the warriors from the Central Asian steppes. And boy how their genes have spread out far and wide!
To put it bluntly and plain simple:
When great hunters in the far north met with great warriors from the steppes, they blended in and became the Vikings. Not only Vikings, but they also became the earlier Germanic tribes (which I call Scandinavian tribes). Their descendents are so many people living all over the World and their earliest stories fit surprisingly well with our oldest Norse tales and myths of when the Jotuns of Jotunheim in Northern Scandinavia met and mixed with the Norse Gods, such as the parents of Odin.
This is all truly astonishing and even thought I should have been a co-author on this paper (which I still hope someone with an ethical mind will see through, though that's another story), I am very happy to finally see more proof, sound DNA evidence which confirms many of my videos on this channel, such as Secrets of the Germanic Tribes and The ancient roots of the TROLL myth:
