Medicine has an innovation linkage that is always constant. Each branch of medicine is going to link in some way and most often it will be innovative. Neontology is something you might not have heard of before unless you are in the medical and biological fields. Neontology is a part of biology that deals with living organisms. The term Neontology is used in reference to scientists who are not paleontologists.
Paleontologists work with long dead organisms, but Neontology studies the recently living or now living organisms. Anyone who studies modern organisms will be part of Neontology. Anyone who studies the recently living organisms are trying to discover how the organism works, why it is here, and where it came from in order to link the past with the present.
