I wonder if they have any idea why this Viking presence isn't accounted for in stories / oral histories of the indigenous peoples. Did the Vikings just wipe out all that they came in contact with? Did those tribes truly never have contact with other tribes (to the point were a tribe that didn't directly meet with Vikings, could wonder what happened to some other tribe that the Vikings wiped out)?

[A little off-topic, but I wonder if he gets sick of the "The Island of Doctor Moreau" references (or if it actually isn't a common occurance).]
