Much of what we know about early times comes from the
primary source (primary sources are
original materials or items from a specific time period) of fossils. Paleontologists
regularly dig treasures out of the earth in the form of fossils. These remains
of once living things can tell us much about life in the past, and as more
technology becomes available, even more discoveries about our past come to
light. Fossils are just one example of a primary source. The question becomes,
what is the relationship between primary sources and secondary (secondary
sources are interpretations or evaluations of primary sources) sources? Through
in class examinations of fossils, other primary sources, and secondary sources,
you will work to answer this key question.

The relationship between primary and secondary sources is that primary means that you are there where the action is, and secondary means you are telling what you have heard.Paleontology are a primary sources because with out them we would not know about fossils or bones.We are a secondary source because we did not find fossils or bones we just learn about them by books,videos.

The relationship between primary and secondary source is they both are something that has been found by someone like for example secondary has been seen by someone that would have seen it in there book they weren't the first ones to find it like primary source but they saw it and researched it then put it in there own words.
