Their bone structure from fossils and their morphology
They learn about diseases Take a chimp for example scientists use chimps so that they can discover about diseases that can spread to humans.
The more scientists study animal behavior, the more they learn that animals were smarter than they thought. Now we know that even animals like octopus and alligators can use tools. Apes can learn sign language. Dolphins have names for themselves. That's just the beginning.

Scientists learn a few different things. Scientists learn new things very day.
Aside from fossils we can learn about organisms and how they have changed over the years by looking at the plants and animals we have today.
