The correct answer is TRUE. The fossils allow scientist to predict which species are going to need more care in the future due to climate change. Scientists have classified the origin of species into two main sources: generalists and speciation. The first refers to species that can disseminate through large proportions of land and thrive in different environments. The latter refers to species that had been isolated in environmental niches, therefore, any change in the environment would have a big impact on them. The study of fossils can determine if a certain specie would survive the upcoming changes that are forecasted for planet Earth.
