About Ross Barnett: The Missing Lynx: Extinction in Britain
Award-winning scientist and author Ross has been involved with the field of ancient DNA research for over 20 years, looking at the relationships between extinct and extant. Throughout his career he has been fascinated by the animals that once lived side-by-side with humans, prompting him to write The Missing Lynx, looking at some of the many species that have been lost from Britain and Europe since the end of the ice age. Many have heard the stories of beavers, wolves and bears, but what about lions, hyaenas and mammoths?
