As much as it is important to study the Earth's formation, understanding the history of different species on earth is equally vital. Today, while we face changes in climate, rapid degradation of habits and accelerated extinction of species, it becomes crucial to understand the story of how species evolved in the past and how ancient ecosystems responded to great changes - some of which were catastrophic, and some others continue to be so.
The Palestinian Museum of Natural History and Humankind's department of Geology and Paleontology is devoted to researching and studying the solid crust of the earth which was the foundation of ancient civilizations in Palestine.
