I assume the Arabian skeleton had small teeth.

Where Do The Finns Come From?

"Grave findings have shown that late Palaeolithic settlers in central Europe and their Mesolithic descendants in the Scandinavian Peninsula were Europoids, who had compartively large teeth - a seemingly comical detail, but nevertheless an important factor in identifying these populations. Although it is very unlikely that the language of these settlers will ever be identified, I cannot see any grounds for the theory that either of these groups spoke Proto-Uralic. "

"East Europeans have small teeth compared with the relatively large teeth of the Scandinavian, a peculiarity deriving from an age-old genetic distinction."

“...discovered a man who appears to be of arabian origin.”

The Iron Age may seem a little early for a claim to restoring of the Caliphate in Scandinavia, but this ought to be good for something in this day and age.

Nazis are deeply saddened.

Except for the Nazis, who has ever believed such a myth?

The notion of a pure race is one thing and imagining isolated populations another. Human populations must have been somewhat isolated for us to have developed distinct physical characteristics.

My known heritage is Italian, German, Irish and French so I have no particular racialist ax to grind.

A team of forensic scientists at the University of Copenhagen has studied human remains found in two ancient Danish burial grounds dating back to the iron age, and discovered a man who appears to be of arabian origin.

2000 years ago?
Lets see. The Roman Empire traded with Cimbra which is Jutland.
What does this prove anyway? Nothing.
The correct solution is to do a genetic test of ethnic Scandenavians and stop relying on abberent finds.

The correct solution is to do a genetic test of ethnic Scandenavians and stop relying on abberent finds.

"Linea Melchior and forensic scientists from the University of Copenhagen analysed the mitocondrial DNA of 18 individuals buried on the sites and found that there was as much genetic variation in their remains as one would expect to find in individuals of the present day."

All my grandparents came from Sweden but I don’t feel all that pure ggg.

Modern Italians are a mixture of Greeks, Phoenecians, Lombards, Normans, Swabians, Saracens, Jews, Arabs, Romans, and Spaniards, among other peoples. They are among the most heterogeneous peoples in Europe.

Even the English are "mutts": Celts, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Normans, Romans, etc.

[SunkenCiv]

All the find means is, Scandinavia has always belonged to the Arabs. Now sit down and shut up while they rape women.

This must mean that muslims invented lutefisk too.

Who knew those ol’ viking raids were really jihadi just going out to say hello to the neighbors?
