Paleontology.

Paleontology (παλαιοντολογία) is the study about life on the Earth, which existed before Holocene epoch. This word came from the Greek language παλαιός, palaios  "old", ὄν, on "creature", and λόγος, logos "study".

Science about ancient creatures has similar features with other studies. Biology, geology, and archaeology are related sciences to paleontology. 

Paleontologists are studying the history of life on our planet. Ancient fossils can tell a lot about animals and their lives.

Also, scientists study climate of that periods. Billions and millions years ago the weather was different. Ice age changed life of animals.

Paleontology helps to understand the life of dinosaurs. They lived on the Earth many years ago. Then the dinosaurs died.

This science explains evolution. Different animals have different ancestors. They could be of other size and live in other places.

Plants at that time were different, too.

Science about ancient animals studies in colleges and universities.

Tales from childhood: Julia's life.

Sophie became a high school student. She met many different teachers in her school. They were unique. But school workers often talked about one girl.

"I had a good student," the history teacher said.

"It was several years ago. She was very active. This student often played in performances. Also, she was a volunteer before graduation," the teacher continued.

Little Sophie knew this girl. It was Julia. Children heard many good things about her.

"Julia's grades were high," the principal said.

At the same time, the teacher showed the children her own school notes. Everything was written in beautiful handwriting. The teachers and the principal were proud.

After school, Julia studied in college. There she met Anton and friends. But just Anton became Julia's best friend. Maybe their friendship was more than simple friendship.

Sophie and her classmates saw Julia. She went somewhere. Julia had a handbag. She called someone on her cell phone.

"Julia is an amazing young woman!" Beth admired.

Maybe she was a good example for Beth.

On the weekend Sophie saw Anton and Julia in the center of town. They walked together. At this moment little Sophie understood that someone is always an example for another person.
