Reading Comprehension
Read the selection and answer the question that follows.
How do we determine the life we have from the past? Most of what we know about the past is
through research. Anthropologists are the people who study how the people of the past live. They look for
clues using the literature we have right now that can be dated back decades ago. They also check on
historical records to see the context of the people during the past. They also study some physical or
biological remains like jars and bones to determine the culture of the past. Once they gathered these
evidences careful and systematic analysis is made to come up with a conclusion. In this way, we are able to
know how our ancestors live. Researching is the key in knowing our past.
