Dr Stewart Finlayson, Geraldine and Clive’s son, also has a doctorate from Anglia Ruskin University and is an Honorary Research Fellow at Liverpool John Moores University. His passion for birds, something of a family tradition, took him to study the way in which Neanderthals exploited birds, revealing in detail how they exploited a wide range of species, not just for food but also for their feathers and talons. The implications of this work had a far outreach, as it had huge implications for our understanding of Neanderthal cognitive capacities. Stewart follows the family line of a diversity of interests. He is a bat specialist, dedicating much of his research time to understanding the ecology and movements of Gibraltar’s bats; the research takes him to caves and other bat roosts across much of southern Iberia.
