This was interesting. My mother was from the Northern Norway. My sister had a dna test where it said 37% Irish Welsh Scottish. May your video shows the answer to this?

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

Hi, thank you for a great video. I am a Sami living in the northernmost part of Norway. My ancestors immigrated to Norway from the Kola peninsula, Finland, and Sweden, between 170-190 years ago. Because of a famine in northern Finland and Sweden at the time, many people moved north towards the arctic ocean. Sami people in my region are intermixed with the Kveni people of northern Scandinavia because of said immigration. Greetings from Norway.

I’m a 1st generation Australian of Scottish descent.I always knew I was descended from Scottish ancestors but when I did a DNA test it came back that I also had Norwegian DNA.I was contacted through ancestry by 3 second cousins from Scotland who helped me with our common ancestral lineage and it turns out my ancestors had come from the Orkney islands.In particular the island of Westray.I reckon it’s a fair bet that’s where my Norwegian DNA probably comes from.

[@filipefernandes870]

Westray -> Vestrey -> Vestre øy/Vestøy Yeah i find names in northern Scotland amusing as a Norwegian(im also half Portuguese so my name is confusing I know)

[@LuvBorderCollies]

A few years ago I watched a video on something about Scotland history. It had examples of real Scots speaking in different areas of the country. One man really caught my ear with his cadence that sounded very close to older Norwegians speaking English. I grew around a sizable number of Norwegian descents born in the 1880s-1890s, so I heard the "sing-song" cadence they used even when speaking English. I immediately picked up that Scottish man's speech..,"Hey that sounds very familiar." As I recall he was from some population pocket in northeast Scotland, not an island. This is so interesting how elements of our ancestors are still active today. My father's Dutch side were very bi-lingual Dutch-English but their Dutch sounded very harsh and guttural compared to today's Dutch of Europe. My Dutch great grandparents immigrated to the US about 1897, as did many others from the Rhine/Lower Rhine area in Gelderland. Long story short several years ago a study found there were still pockets of Old Saxon dialect between Arnhem and Utrecht. Spot on.!! That explained the mystery perfectly.

[@Liftinglinguist]

That's really cool, my maternal grandfather's family came from one of the old Yorvik/Jorvik regions of Scotland in the late 1800s (the North-Western archipelago part of it, I believe, they were fishermen). His surname was a variant of Yorvik (Storvik, I think it was Jorvik at some point as well), which is also the name given to an area further north in Norway, where other parts of the same lineage settled during the same time-period. One fun anecdote about the whole thing is that since that part of Scotland and Northern England had some influences from Norway during the 800-1050-ish period, it turns out that the family had Scandinavian ancestry. This means that by migrating to Norway, they were in some ways coming home. I tried to find some relatives in Scotland a few years back, there are some who share my grandfather's name. I think there's a fair new in Northern England as well, at least that's what my grandfather told me.

No! The "last Ice Age" did not end. We are STILL in an Ice Age. It's called the Quaternary Ice Age that started 2.8 million years ago and is still ongoing. What ended 12,000 years ago was the last glacial maximum. We are in the midst of an inter-glacial warm period which has characterized the Quaternary. Each glacial period lasts approximately 100,000 years and is punctuated by warm periods in between that last approximately 15,000 years. This cycle is governed by the Milankovitch Cycles. And for all of you obsessed over the climate, global temperatures have been trending colder during the Quaternary Ice Age - not warmer.

I’m from Iceland so my ancestry is about 50/50 from Norway on the one hand and the British Islands and Ireland on the other. With my mtDNA most likely from Ireland (T2a1a8) and Y-DNA most likely from Scotland (R-Z39898). Interestingly I seem to have a dash of Savonian (Forest Finn) ancestry in there as well, though I suspect that it is slightly more recent and possibly via a back migration from New Sweden (Delaware) as it forms a DNA cousin cluster with a lot of people of NA and Colonial American descent. Plus some from the rest of Scandinavia, Northern Europe and Basque.

Bell Beakers are an off-shoot of Corded Ware. They didn't originate in Iberia. Iberia also received Bell Beaker input which brought in some Steppe and R1b. I posted this previously but a lot of people posting dna information on youtube don't appear to know the difference between the Bell Beakers that spread R1b and Steppe and the ancient Bell Beakers of Iberia which where Iberians and not people from the Steppe. Bell Beakers that went to Ireland and Britain were Dutch Bell Beakers and were all R1b-L21. It is quite possible that R1b-L21 also went to Norway during this Bell Beaker movement. All the R1b-L21 I doubt got there from Vikings bringing in Irish and British men during the Viking period. Some most probably also came with Beakers. The Beakers that went to Iberia in the Iron Age were all R1b-DF27. These Beakers brought R1b to Western Europe. The older Iberian Bell Beakers were a different population genetically than the Bronze Age Bell Beakers. The Beakers that brought R1b-DF27 to Iberia only came in the late Bronze Age Early Iron Age.

Medieval plagues took an extraordinary heavy toll in Norway and the country was to a degree depopulated. This and the Danish rule from 1380 (to a degree a result of the political collapse follwing the great plague of the 1350s) meant an increased immigration from the neighbouring contries, not at least Denmark. Even today Norwegian language (Bokmål) is a variant of Danish but in 19th century an "original" Norwegian was reconstructed (Nynorsk) but AFAIK is mainly talked around Bergen (no idea why).

The ethymology of Norway is unknown. It was uncertain a thousand years ago, so we know that it is unknowable. In Norwegian, the name could also mean the land of many fjords, which is at least as accurate as the way to the north, which seems like a detour. If it _does_ mean way to the north, then it implies that Sweden is part of Norway forever and by definition. There should be no such thing as The Nordics; it should all be called Norway. But we will not fight for it; when they want to be Norwegians, then they shall be and we will still call them Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. And it will no longer be called Norway, but Norge.

Thank you for this. I have some comments though. I doubt there was a British-Irish migration to Norway at some time. DNA similarities must come from the Anglo-Saxon migration to the British Isles. Anglers, Saxons and Jutes are the same breed as Norwegians and the connection between Norway and Denmark has always been strong and the haplo groups are almost the same in the two countries. Better climate and land opportunities in the British Isles lead to the same conclusion.

The brain will not develop correctly if the mother has zero Vitamin D3 during pregnancy when breast feeding and when the child is an infant and toddler and young child. Due to zero Vitamin D3 this will reduce the functioning IQ by at least 10% and probably 15% and possibly more than 20% and potentially more than 25%. Chronic mental instability in the teens and early 20's is the core reason zero Vitamin D3 when the mother had been pregnant and when the child had been growing up? From what I personally witnessed in sixth form where there had been a lot of students from India and Pakistan the mental instability had been due to zero Vitamin D3. One of the male students did not suffer from this chronic mental instability and he had been born in Pakistan and spent his childhood living in Pakistan until approximately 11 years of age thus it is reasonable to predict he had optimal Vitamin D3 levels when his mother had been pregnant and breast feeding and during his childhood. Also this male had very pale skin relative to the population of Pakistan and had been very short and slim thus in Britain should be able to produce some Vitamin D3. Very low Vitamin D3 is not zero Vitamin D3 although it is not ideal but very low Vitamin D3 is better than zero Vitamin D3. From what I have personally witnessed due to a combination of skin tone the modern lifestyle and specifically women covering their skin when outdoors in direct sunlight this explains the mental instability in the male population in Northern Europe for people with dark skin. Playing the race card all the time is one manifestation of mental instability. Males require significantly higher Vitamin D3 levels than female partly because men are nearly always heavier and Vitamin D3 levels is a ratio of the total body mass. But also as males have higher testosterone levels and testosterone burns off Vitamin D3 a lot faster than women who have vastly lower testosterone levels this amplifies the acute Vitamin D3 deficiency in males thus amplifies the side effects of Vitamin D3 deficiency encompassing mental health problems and physical health problems. The above goes a long way to explain why males are underperforming academically and almost all of them have chronic mental instability problems in school, sixth from and in their 20's. Vitamin D3 supplements are not the same as sun on your skin to produce natural Vitamin D3. However the IU (International Unit) dose guidelines are only guidelines and vary significantly with the individual. The significance of Vitamin D3 deficiency specifically zero Vitamin DD3 levels during pregnancy and when breast feeding and as an infant, toddler and thought-out childhood into adolescence has been excluded from the medical literature and the mainstream media for political reasons. However the facts remain the facts and personal opinions will not change the facts. Without the modern lifestyle people with dark skin could not live in Northern Europe due to a Vitamin D3 deficiency. Research must be carried out regarding are the official guidelines for Vitamin D3 supplements grossly underestimating the amount of Vitamin D3 supplement required and males require significantly more Vitamin D3 supplement than females due to elevated testosterone levels in childhood adolescence and into their 20's. Research project above. ====== In layman's terms zero Vitamin D3 in pregnancy results in brain damage of the newborn child and this brain damage is amplified if there is zero Vitamin D3 as an infant and toddler and throughout childhood resulting in acute behavioral problems in adolescence, The modern lifestyle you are indoors almost all the time unless you actually work outdoors. This goes some way to explaining what we witness throughout the West. ====== There is nothing more unequal than making unequal people equal. Black women on the nursing courses prefer coursework and do not like the exams for a plethora of overlapping reasons. White women on the nursing courses prefer exams and do not like the coursework for a plethora of overlapping reasons. The above are generalisations however is accurate to more than approximately 90%. Black males have elevated testosterone levels relative to Europeans and this elevated testosterone in real terms reduces the functioning IQ from what it would otherwise be. Although this IQ reduction varies with the person there is a significant education in functioning IQ due to black males having elevated testosterone levels. Zero Vitamin D3 In Black People Living In Northern Europe The modern lifestyle you are indoors almost all the time unless you actually work outdoors. Thus in Northern Europe due to a combination of low intensity sunlight due to the latitude and dense cloud cover and high levels of precipitation and strong winds from the Atlantic Storms and the rare occasion people are outdoors they are almost always wrapped up in clothing black people will have zero Vitamin D3 for almost the entire year. Black males require vastly more Vitamin D3 than the RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) due to them having elevated testosterone levels than European males. Black women living in Northern Europe have zero Vitamin D3 during pregnancy as this is the reason there are so many maternity problems for black women living in Northern Europe not racist NHS staff. Google Image Europe Geographic Area R1b And R1a There is clear boundary between the R1b and R1a populations and this correlates with density of cloud cover as the droplets that clouds are made of absorb Ultra Violet UVB that is required to make Vitamin D3 from contact with the skin. Thus R1b have more depigmentation of the sin than R1a being less melanin in the skin enabling them to produce Vitamin D3 more efficiently in Western Europe. R1b L21 Ginger MC1R is in the Atlantic Climate Zone as due to the Atlantic Climate the depigmentation of the skin from Ginger MC1R gene enables more efficient production of Vitamin D3 from the lower intensity Ultra Violet on the skin. However one of the many conclusions of the above is people with dark skin cannot live in Northern Europe due to the very low ambient Ultra Violet levels on the earths surface. The negative health outcomes of zero Vitamin D3 encompassing physical health and mental health are well documented. Specifically pregnant omen with zero Vitamin D3 throughout their pregnancy the outcomes for the child are acute also encompassing physical health and mental health. Scientific fact are scientific facts and personal opinions will not change facts. ===== Comments welcome =====

That the Sami are a mixed people consisting of both Scandinavian hunter gatherers and immigrants from Asia/Urals is confirmed by archaeological and linguistic research, and does not contradict genetic research. There is continuity in archaeological finds, from the oldest finds (around 10,000 years old) in the north to today's Sami culture. Sami language consists of a large proportion of unknown origin. Linguists believe these are remnants of languages ​​spoken in the Paleo-European area. Remnants of this/these (?) languages ​​also exist in Norwegian (I assume they also exist in Swedish). Historian and gene researcher Sturla Ellingvåg, who has the YT channel "Viking Stories", has a well-founded theory he calls the "bottleneck" about Scandinavian genetics. Recommended to anyone who might be interested in the connection Scandinavian/Germanic.

[@acenname]

You make it sound as if the Sami were primarily descendants of Scandinavian hunter-gatherers.

[@ahkkariq7406]

@@acenname They were, actually. The group arriving from east were men, and not many. You can compare what happened in the north with what happened in the south. Those who immigrated brought the language with them. In the south the change of language actually happened to a greater extent than in the north. Norwegian is an Indo-European language with a very small proportion of the original language. In the north, the original language has been preserved to a much greater extent. Still, no one would claim that the Norwegians are from the Middle East, but they have no problem saying that the Sami are from the Urals or Asia, despite the fact that the ancestors of both peoples have been in the country since the ice retreated. A little later in the north than in the south, naturally enough, since the ice was gone in the south before the north. According to historian and gene researcher Sturla Ellingvåg Norwegians and Sami have more than 90% common genetic material.

[@acenname]

@@ahkkariq7406 I think you got this slightly wrong. The first wave of hunter-gatherers came from the South, and were Western hunter-gatherers (WHG). They travelled all the way up the Norwegian coast,, reaching the Alta area. The second wave of hunter-gatherers came from the North. They were Eastern hunter-gatherers (EHG), coming from Siberia. They also travelled all along the coast of Norway, down to Southern Norway. They mixed with the WHG, but it was actually the EHG descendants' from the North that became the dominant culture along th entire coast. The Sami came in as a later, smaller wave, also from the North, also descendants of EHG. That happened after the Norse had adopted an Indoeuropean language due to a new wave, also from the South, of Western Steppe Herders (WSH), (who in turn were a mix of EHG and Caucasian CHG). Therefore, the Sami were primarily descended from the EHG, while the Norse were descended from the SHG and the WSH. Both groups have most of our ancient DNA from Asia.

[@ahkkariq7406]

@@acenname Over several decades, I have read everything there is to read about Sami history. This is in addition to the fact that I have studied Norwegian history. I have read studies, and in all these years have discussed Sami history online, including with people who have a doctorate in the subject. I have a better overview of this than most people who do not have specialist expertise on the subject. You don't have to believe me, but I stand firmly in my view on the matter. Sami ethnicity arose on Nordkalotten, as a fusion between those who lived there before and a small group of men who migrated in from the east. Whether those who lived on the site from before were more or less western or eastern hunter-gatherers is uninteresting in this context. My knowledge is not based solely on genetic research.

[@acenname]

@@ahkkariq7406 Yes. By being uninterested in those who lived there before, as you say, and claiming continuity for the Sami, while forgetting to mention the continuity of people who descend from those who lived there before and are not Sami, (actually most of their descendants) you appear to be giving a biased comment.

Well ... Norway comes from a old English word meaning north way ....? - not sure about that. Norway a asume comes from Norge/ Noreg and the scollars are not sure if it means the north way - or in fact the narrow way - Because of Harald Hårfagre/ Fairhair ( actually his calling name was Luva ( meaning a knitted wollen hat)- because he didnt cut or combe his hair - so he looked awfull) who had his seat on Avaldsnes near Haugesund - and there was this narrow shipslead to the north ... so we dont know - and most of the sami people in Norway now lives in Oslo.... .. and you forgot/ misubnderstod the imigration from Finnland. Most people came to Finnmark called KVENER. The Skogfinner/ forest finns was not so many and further south. They have theyr own special history - and should not be mixed with kvener

Norge/Noreg comes from "No-rige" just like Sweden's nordic name "Sve-rige." NORWAY is a different word, used in English, and does indeed come from North--Way or in other words, "the Way to the North." This is also pretty obvious. You could even translate directly to Norwegian and it would be "Nor(d)vei."

[@kirstireinholdtsen]

Yes, we called us self Noreg. And the english called us Norway.

,, well its not " pretty obvious", just because you think so. Nor can also mean nær ( narrow) and thats obvious if you se LEIDA ( the sea way) passed Avaldsnes - wher Harald Hårfagre/ Harald Luva had his kingsseat. What is obvious is always just from the way yous tand in this timeperiode.

Black hair seems historically more connected to borders of Europe, closer to alien populations and parts of Russia, near Asia. Europeans may or may not have a natural source of black hair and darker browns hairs do seem to be historically in little warmer part of Europe with lighter shade farther north. When brown hair become light enough it can take on an almost blondish color. Used to have a couple different shades in my beard. Lighter shades of brown, that slowly matched up with the vast majority of hair.
