Viking raiding was not just about treasure and territory. It was also a very aggressive form of international dating. You sail across the North Sea, pillage a monastery or two, and if you see someone you like, you bring her home. Selective migration at its finest. The result? A genetic legacy that makes modern Scandinavians look like they stepped out of a mead commercial. The Vikings understood something that modern dating apps have not figured out yet: if you want quality, you have to go get it yourself. Skal.
