Paleontology started quite a while ago. Paleontology started and became an official practice in the 1800s. It wasn't until the 1700s that people started to realize that fossils were able to give information to people about their history and the environment around the organism. Also, in the 1700s, Paleontologists were able to realize that fossils began to prove that animals were alive long ago and then became extinct. Then, in the 1800s, there were many advancements in Paleontology and they began to put their studies and information into museums for everyone to see. In 1822, Henri Marie Ducrotay decided to name the studies of fossils, Paleontology. In 1859, Charles Darwin released his book called the Origin of Species and that helped Paleontology advance even more because they had new information with how life was created. Paleontology supports the theory of evolution and they are trying to study for fossils to learn more and more about how the world actually started. <ref> Hamilton Jason [http://scienceviews.com/dinosaurs/paleontology.html/ Paleontology] ''ScienceViews''.
