Paleontologists study fossils so that we can understand the evolution's from past species to the current ones. It also opens a window to discovering exactly how long earth has been around by finding out the age of the fossil itself. Though paleontology has been in the decline recently, and i'm sure we haven't found out all we need to know from these fossils.
