[@BCTheEntity] Both articles and their originating peer reviewed scientific article did not suggest that Vikings had darker skin tones, or at least as dark as you’re seemingly referring to when suggesting they weren’t white. It is supporting the argument that Vikings weren’t blonde haired and blue eyed Scandinavian people, but rather more genetically diverse people with differing hair and eye colors that are seen across other European countries which in turn supports that they had complex trading, settling, and raiding networks across Europe contrary to what was previously believed. Their arguments are about the Vikings ethnic background, not their race.
