      It's also an undeniable biological action. When a person dies their hair and nails continue to grow for about 3 months (I think) after death. It's similar to reactions the body does that made Europeans in the 18th century believe vampires were real after exhuming the bodies of suspected 'vampires'

    Vikings were Nordics of Ethnicity. Just to get that straight. Were mostly of Anglo Jutland descent (Denmark) Southern Norway to Trondheim. From Gotland to Uppsala in Sweden. I am one myself. So no debate about race. Classic Nordic Østerdal types with more extreme Nordic features from the Anglo belt through North Germany into Denmark and Southern Norway. Some were Fælisk/Frisian/Blond Brachycephals, though, mostly long-faced (Above 95 units in Facial index) and below 75 in Cephalic index = dolichocephalic skulled. Leptorrhine Nasal in the low indexes 60 - 46 (Average in the 50s). Golden and Rufous/rufosity in pigmentation, with stern dark blue eyes with sometimes a blend of grey or white showing.

      majority of Danish Vikings had red hair dna study show and Swedes blonde hair, not sure about Norweigians, since Scandinavians have never been all blonde (or red haired) there would have been brown and ash hair as today, black hair would only be if a Viking married a woman with black hair from another country, the people they married from other countries and the child then had black hair and became a Viking, however most of the people they mixed with were from UK, Baltic nations, Finns and Slavic people like from Poland and Russia so not a lot of people with black hair, but there were Sami in between and maybe some further south although more rare

      some Finns probably adopted the Viking culture as did Sami and Baltic people, I heard some say Rurik who founded Kievan Rus was actually of Finnish decent, however generally Finns were not Vikings, and there are not Scandinavians as they speak a totally diff. language part of Urelic languages not Germanic, so it is closer to Estonian, Sami and same family as Hungarian
