Thanks for your answer.
It was quite enlightening.

Forgive my ignorance but what are the implications for your statement:
##the MRCA could have lived between 500 and 1000 CE## ?

Does it mean that the common ancestor of all R1b1b2e may have lived then?
A portion of them?
If so, What portion?
How would this tie-in with suggested known historical scenarios?
Migrations to Lowland Scotland?
Europe?
