What does the fossil record provide for paleontologists?
The fossil record provides paleontologists with a window into the past, offering insights into the Earth's geological history, the evolution of species, and the diversity of ancient life forms.

What are some specialists that study prehistory?

Archaeologists study human history through material remains, paleoanthropologists study human evolution through fossil evidence, and paleontologists study ancient life forms through fossil records.
