Surprise, surprise . . .

io9 has a fascinating report by Alasdair Wilkins, "Native Americans visited Europe 1000 years ago". Really. This tale of tail has science behind it.

Five centuries before Columbus reached the Americas, Vikings briefly settled on the northern tip of Newfoundland. Now the DNA of four Icelandic families reveals it wasn't just Europeans traveling to the Americas...at least one Native American went back with them.
