Which of the following prediction follow from the Theory of Evolution? A. The fossil record should contain intermediate forms between major taxonomic groups B.

Fossils are always a representation of species that are currently alive (ie extant) even if they have not been detected yet as living on earth at the present time D. All species are unigue and originated independe

Paleontology

A branch of science concerning the scientific study of life from ancient times is known as paleontology. The scientists working on paleontology are known as paleontologists. Paleontologists collect the fossils of organisms from ancient times to classify them. The paleontologists also study the environment from ancient times to study the interactions between different organisms.
