A team of forensic scientists at the University of Copenhagen has studied human remains found in two ancient Danish burial grounds dating back to the iron age, and discovered a man who appears to be of Arabian origin.

The findings suggest that human beings were as genetically diverse 2,000 years ago as they are today and indicate greater mobility among the Danish iron age populations than was previously thought.
