Origin and population structure of the Icelanders.

Human biology - 1 Apr 1993

Williams J T

Abstract excerpt

The Norse and Celtic contributions to the founding population of Iceland have been estimated previously on a pan-Icelandic basis using gene frequency data for the entire island. Accounts of the settlement of Iceland, however, suggest that different regions received different proportions of Norse...
