They created a record of life on Earth.
They grouped organisms by their similarities.
They grouped organisms by the period in which they existed.
They discovered that the first humans lived with dinosaurs.
They discovered that life has existed since Earth was created.

Answer 1

The first three options may be attributed to Palaeontology.  

Palaeontology and palaeontologists study fossils (impressions or remains of organisms, found between rock layers or other geological formations), the environment which they lived in, their similarities and thereby try to establish the period of their existence and how they evolved on earth. It is a historical science, which may be considered a mix between biology and geology.

Answer 2

Paleontology: Paleontology is the study of the history of life. They represent the life that existed during the Holocene epoch and later that.

The paleontology records had been existing from the 5th century BC. They also act as the intermediary between geology and biology.

Contributions:

• They are responsible for creating records of lives on earth.
• They are responsible for grouping the organisms based on their similarities.
• They are responsible for the grouping of various organisms that lived during various eras.
