Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Archaeology
World War II

His main research concerns Ecology, Pleistocene, Neanderthal, Cave and Paleoclimatology. His studies deal with areas such as Glacial period and Evolutionary anthropology as well as Ecology. Clive Finlayson has included themes like Mousterian and Survival of the fittest, Human evolution, Evolutionary biology in his Neanderthal study.

Clive Finlayson focuses mostly in the field of Cave, narrowing it down to matters related to Paleontology and, in some cases, Marine conservation. His Paleoclimatology research focuses on Mediterranean climate and how it connects with Arid. His Archaeology study incorporates themes from Juniper and Woodland.

His most cited work include:

Late survival of Neanderthals at the southernmost extreme of Europe (339 citations)
Late survival of Neanderthals at the southernmost extreme of Europe (339 citations)
Rapid ecological turnover and its impact on Neanderthal and other human populations. (180 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Clive Finlayson mainly focuses on Cave, Pleistocene, Ecology, Archaeology and Neanderthal. His Cave research includes themes of Paleontology, Period, Aeolian processes, Coastal plain and Peninsula. His research in Pleistocene intersects with topics in Glacial period, Cliff, Physical geography, Human evolution and Chronology.

His work on Solutrean, Excavation and Natural as part of general Archaeology research is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Neanderthal study combines topics in areas such as Mousterian, Range, Taphonomy and Paleoanthropology. His Mediterranean climate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Arid and Oceanography, Bay.

He most often published in these fields:

Cave (56.56%)
Pleistocene (53.28%)
Ecology (50.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

Pleistocene (53.28%)
Cave (56.56%)
Archaeology (40.16%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Pleistocene, Cave, Archaeology, Ecology and Context are his primary areas of study. Clive Finlayson has researched Pleistocene in several fields, including Glacial period, Aeolian processes, Wild boar, Fossil Record and Chronology. His research investigates the connection between Cave and topics such as Peninsula that intersect with issues in Sedimentary rock, Humanities and Juniper.

His Archaeology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Woodland and Vegetation. Clive Finlayson regularly ties together related areas like Neanderthal in his Ecology studies. His study in Neanderthal is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary biology, Human evolution, Range and Ecology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Neanderthals and Modern Humans: An Ecological and Evolutionary Perspective (119 citations)
The genomic history of the Iberian Peninsula over the past 8000 years (116 citations)
Pigeons and choughs, a usual resource for the Neanderthals in Gibraltar (22 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

Ecology
World War II
Archaeology

His primary areas of study are Neanderthal, Pleistocene, Ecology, Predation and Cave. Clive Finlayson merges Neanderthal with Extinction in his study. The various areas that Clive Finlayson examines in his Pleistocene study include Ecology and Human evolution.

Clive Finlayson interconnects Range, Taphonomy, Habitat, Cliff and Foraging in the investigation of issues within Predation. Cave is a primary field of his research addressed under Archaeology.
