Easter Island is a small 63-square-mile patch of land — more than a thousand miles from the next inhabited spot in the Pacific Ocean. In A.D. 1200 (or thereabouts), a small group of Polynesians — it might have been a single family — made their way there, settled in and began to farm. When they arrived, the place was covered with trees — as many as 16 million of them, some towering 100 feet high.
These settlers were farmers, practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, so they burned down woods, opened spaces, and began to multiply. Pretty soon the island had too many people, too few trees, and then, in only a few generations, no trees at all.

Fossils give Scientists look into past life. A dinosaur that mixes together a reptile and a bird helps scientists understand present day reptiles & birds. Animal Ancestry helps Scientists discover what ancestors of present day animals are. example: a dinosaur and an alligator. DNA sequences help with this. By matching together the strands of DNA from these fossils can help scientists match together the strands of DNA sequences For example the gene for a protein found in a horse will overlap in sequence fairly well with the protein gene from a cow but will not match very well with a worm.
