The fact that the Saami - a relatively isolated minority in Scandinavia - have any R1b at all contradicts the notion that R1b arrived in Scandinavia during the Middle Ages or afterward.
Do you all really believe that R1b and R1a were not present in Scandinavia during the prehistoric period?
When did the big migration of foreigners into Scandinavia take place?
You haven't really been able to produce evidence that such a thing ever happened prior to the 20th century.
However, if, for some unknown reason, it makes you all feel better to imagine that Scandinavia had no interloping R1bs and R1as during prehistoric times, then indulge the fantasy (regardless of the evidence, including the large numbers of R1bs there, especially in Denmark, where it is the largest y-haplogroup).
It really doesn't matter to me.
