A Danish origin is plausible. However, Ethnoancestry
reports that 20% of all western R1b are S21+. With
those numbers one is inclined to think it is much
broader for a Danish or even a British Isles origin.
Doggerland certainly has its appeal. I think key
to all of this is if S21+ can be broken into insular
and continental varieties with a prehistoric MRCA.

Best wishes!
