Item Ancient genomes indicate population replacement in Early Neolithic Britain(Springer Nature, 2019-05) Brace, Selina; Diekmann, Yoan; Booth, Thomas J.; van Dorp, Lucy; Faltyskova, Zuzana; Rohland, Nadin; Mallick, Swapan; Olalde, Iñigo; Ferry, Matthew; Michel, Megan; Oppenheimer, Jonas; Broomandkhoshbacht, Nasreen; Stewardson, Kristin; Martiniano, Rui; Walsh, Susan; Kayser, Manfred; Charlton, Sophy; Hellenthal, Garrett; Armit, Ian; Schulting, Rick; Craig, Oliver E.; Sheridan, Alison; Parker Pearson, Mike; Stringer, Chris; Reich, David; Thomas, Mark G.; Barnes, Ian; Biology, School of ScienceThe roles of migration, admixture and acculturation in the European transition to farming have been debated for over 100 years. Genome-wide ancient DNA studies indicate predominantly Aegean ancestry for continental Neolithic farmers, but also variable admixture with local Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. Neolithic cultures first appear in Britain circa 4000 BC, a millennium after they appeared in adjacent areas of continental Europe. The pattern and process of this delayed British Neolithic transition remain unclear. We assembled genome-wide data from 6 Mesolithic and 67 Neolithic individuals found in Britain, dating 8500-2500 BC. Our analyses reveal persistent genetic affinities between Mesolithic British and Western European hunter-gatherers. We find overwhelming support for agriculture being introduced to Britain by incoming continental farmers, with small, geographically structured levels of hunter-gatherer ancestry. Unlike other European Neolithic populations, we detect no resurgence of hunter-gatherer ancestry at any time during the Neolithic in Britain. Genetic affinities with Iberian Neolithic individuals indicate that British Neolithic people were mostly descended from Aegean farmers who followed the Mediterranean route of dispersal. We also infer considerable variation in pigmentation levels in Europe by circa 6000 BC.Item Country Report 2018: United Kingdom(2018) Morris, DebraIndividuals may act collectively through unregistered groups and may pursue any legal purposes. Charities (a defined sub-set of POs) can only pursue a charitable purpose, which does not include political purposes. They are generally free from legal impediments from the State. Charity law and regulation is now devolved (for purposes other than taxation) in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so there are different (but similar) legal and administrative regimes.Item Emerging regulatory issues for human stem cell medicine(ESRC Genomics Network, 2005-02) Liddell, Kathleen; Wallace, SusanDiscusses the issues involved in regulating the products of stem cell research in the United Kingdom.Item End of life decision-making, policy and the criminal justice system: untrained carers assuming responsibility [UCARes] and their uncertain legal liabilities(2006-05) Biggs, Hazel; Mackenzie, RobinDiscusses the legal issues faced by caregivers of the terminally ill.Item Physician-assisted suicide: a review of the literature concerning practical and clinical implications for UK doctors(BioMed Central, 2006-06-22) Hicks, MadelynDiscusses the issues that may arise, if physician-assisted suicide is legalized in the United Kingdom.Item Reflections on Ethics and Advocacy in Child Health (REACH): Creating a Forum for Ethical Dialogue(Elsevier, 2021) Friedman Ross, Lainie; Ott, Mary A.; Pediatrics, School of MedicineItem Review: Black Health and the Humanities(PubPub, 2022-10-31) Nelson, Elizabeth; Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, School of Liberal ArtsItem United Kingdom.
