Palaeontology

Paleontology is the scientific study of the history of life on Earth through the examination of fossils, which are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms. Paleontologists analyze these fossils to understand how species evolved, how they interacted with their environment, and the changes in biodiversity over time. This field combines aspects of biology, geology, and archaeology, offering insights into past ecosystems and climate changes, helping us to comprehend Earth's history and the development of life.
