I think that sums things up pretty well. Northern France would be a natural
jumping off point for movement into the British Isles.

The trend has been more in that direction (from the Continent into Britain)
than the other way around.

Tim,

It's an interesting try but a fair comment would have been that it's
impossible to identify a place of origin as TMRCA are close enough when
comparing continental Europe samples and British isles samples. The results
for France are close to the highest but it's only on 12 samples. The take
out message , I think, is that R-L21 dispersion may have been very fast,
whatever the way it was spread all over western Europe.
