👉 A paleoentomologist is a scientist who studies ancient entomological records, such as fossil records and archaeological evidence. They focus on understanding how organisms have evolved over time, from their earliest stages to their most recent forms. Paleoentomologists use various techniques, including molecular biology, geology, palynology (the study of pollen and mycelium), and paleontology (the study of fossils), to reconstruct the evolutionary history of species. Their work is crucial in understanding the
