jfl this is the biggest myth that i could think of that is so widespread today. Nordics in fact are not "Aryans", the blonde people of Sweden and other Nordic European countries did not come from the Indoeuropean migrations. Their haplogroup came from the middle east way before the Indoeuropean migrations and their DNA differ from other western European "Indo-europeans" aka R1 haplogroup.
"Haplogroup I is the oldest major haplogroup in Europe and in all probability the only one that originated there (apart from very minor haplogroups like C1a2 and deep subclades of other haplogroups). Haplogroup IJ would have arrived from the Middle East to Europe some 35,000 years ago, then developed into haplogroup I soon afterwards. It has now been confirmed by ancient DNA test that the first Homo sapiens to colonize Europe during the Aurignacian period (45,000 to 28,000 years ago), belonged to haplogroups CT, C1a, C1b, F and I."

Haplogroup I1 (Y-DNA)
History and description of Haplogroup I1 (Y-chromosomal DNA) and its subclades. Haplogroup I1 is the original paternal lineage of Nordic Europe. It was propagated around Europe by ancient Germanic tribes and the Vikings.
