Palaeontologist
Palaeontologists are reserachers who explore the past, identifying the fossilised remains they find on controlled excations.
If you enjoy a solitary life and are a self-starter and don't require supervision this career could be for you.
They record their discoveries, naming, measuring and classifying the specimens. In research they compare the known to the unknown. Subtle differences between the past and present reveal what our ancestors ate, how they lived and how much tree ocver they had to hide in.
