Question

Compare and contrast paleontology and anthropology. Provide an example of each.

Answer 1

Paleontology is the field of science which uses fossils to study life throughout geologic time. Both animal and plant fossils are collected, observed, described, and classified. Paleontologists use fossils to learn more about what the Earth was like in the past and how environments changed over time

Anthropology is the study of humans from the past and present. The goal of anthropology is to better understand the different cultures of human history and to look for solutions in human problems. Anthropologists use social, biological, and physical science to get a better grasp on human cultures
