About the test
Vikings of the World: Complete Ancestral Compendium
Are you ready to sail across the full expanse of the Viking world—following the genetic wake of Norse explorers, warriors, traders, and settlers who reshaped Europe, the North Atlantic, and beyond? The Vikings of the World compendium unites a sweeping set of Viking Age and post-Viking genomic reconstructions, allowing you to trace how Scandinavian peoples expanded from their homelands into the British Isles, the Baltic, Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the furthest edges of the known world. From icy fjords and pagan ritual centers to Christian kingdoms, trade emporia, and overseas colonies, this collection offers an unprecedented genetic journey through one of history’s most dynamic eras.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This compendium merges our premier Viking genomic reconstructions, each representing a distinct geographic theater and historical phase of Viking expansion. Together, they reveal how Norse populations adapted, intermixed, and endured—from early raiding societies to settled medieval communities that persisted long after the Viking Age formally ended.
This compendium delivers an immersive synthesis of paleogenetics, archaeology, and history—revealing how Viking societies evolved across continents and centuries. You will receive detailed similarity analyses, geographic reconstructions, and comparative insights that place your DNA within the full Viking world. Reconnect with raiders, settlers, kings, traders, and colonists whose legacy reshaped Europe—and discover how your own lineage may still carry the echoes of their extraordinary journeys.

- Medieval Iceland Vikings (935–1691 AD)
Explore the genetic legacy of Iceland’s Norse settlers and their medieval descendants. From the age of the sagas to early modern times, this test captures one of the world’s most continuous Viking-derived populations—shaped by isolation, law-speakers, poets, and resilient farming communities. - Vikings of Ireland & Isle of Man (765–900 AD)
Step into the Norse-Gaelic world of coastal strongholds, ship burials, and hybrid cultures. This test reveals the genetic imprint of Viking raiders and settlers who transformed Ireland and the Irish Sea into a maritime network of trade, warfare, and cultural fusion. - Vikings of England & Wales (940–1005 AD)
Connect with the people of the Danelaw and late Viking England—a landscape shaped by Scandinavian law, towns, and dynastic ambition. This test explores Norse genetic influence during a period of intense conflict, settlement, and political integration. - Vikings of Scotland (720–1020 AD)
Trace Norse expansion into the Northern Isles, Hebrides, and mainland coasts. This test reflects generations of interaction between Viking settlers and local populations, forming distinctive island societies that blended Scandinavian and Celtic traditions. - Vikings of Denmark (875–950 AD)
Return to one of the Viking Age heartlands. This test captures the genetic legacy of Denmark’s raiders, rulers, and traders—architects of North Sea empires and early medieval state formation. - Vikings of Estonia (750–830 AD)
Discover Viking-age interactions along the eastern Baltic. This test explores Scandinavian activity in Estonian regions tied to early trade routes, warfare, and cultural exchange between Norse and Finno-Ugric worlds. - Vikings of the Faroe Islands (1050–1600 AD)
Journey into the genetic history of a remote North Atlantic society founded by Norse settlers. This test reflects centuries of continuity, shaped by isolation, pastoral life, and maritime survival long after the Viking Age faded elsewhere. - Vikings of Greenland (1000–1050 AD)
Explore one of humanity’s most daring colonization efforts. This test traces the genetic footprint of Greenland’s Norse settlers—farmers and traders at the edge of the medieval world, navigating climate, distance, and survival. - Vikings of Italy (1150 AD)
Follow the Vikings into the Mediterranean. Centered on the Norman legacy, this test captures Scandinavian-descended elites who ruled southern Italy, blending Norse, Latin, Byzantine, and Arab influences into a unique medieval power structure. - Vikings of Norway (850–1200 AD)
Connect with the genetic roots of Norwegian Viking society—from fjord-based chieftains to Christian kings. This test spans the transformation from pagan raiding culture to a consolidated medieval kingdom. - Vikings of Poland (891–1150 AD)
Explore Viking presence in Slavic lands along river trade corridors. This test reflects Norse mercenaries, traders, and settlers who interacted with emerging Slavic states and early medieval economies. - Vikings of West Slavic Lands (900–1050 AD)
Uncover Norse influence among Polabian and West Slavic regions. This test highlights frontier societies shaped by conflict, commerce, and cultural exchange between Scandinavians and Slavic communities. - Vikings of Sweden (750–1050 AD)
Trace the eastern-oriented Vikings of Sweden—explorers of rivers, founders of trade networks, and ancestors of the Varangian world. This test reflects a core Scandinavian population driving expansion toward the Baltics and beyond. - Vikings of Ukraine (1050–1233 AD)
Journey into the Varangian heart of Eastern Europe. This test explores the genetic legacy of Norse-descended elites and warriors active along the Dnieper trade routes and within the political fabric of Kievan Rus.

Why take this test
Up until 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a dream. Since then, the DNA of the Neanderthal who lived over 30,000 years ago has been sequenced. After that reading, the DNA of ancient people who lived from 15,000 BC to 1,800 AD all over the world became the main object of paleogenomic research. This forward leap in technology allowed the creation of a new type of DNA tests — tests that do not use modern-day populations as stand-ins for the ancient tribes but rather go right to the source and study these ancient peoples themselves.
The Ancient DNA Hub DNA test is the first next-generation DNA test. It is designed solely using the DNA of ancient people throughout history using our novel technologies.
With this test, you will receive a precise ancient ethnicity estimate with far greater geographical details than you could imagine. You will make new connections with historical people and places where your ancestors lived, walked, battled, created, and dreamed thousands of years ago. Using the genetic data and evidence from history and archeology, we can revive the past and allow you to take part in this story at the most personal level.
