Answer 1

Scientists who do research in a field have PhDs in that area.  That particular PhD would be in Evolutionary Biology or something closely related, such as Developmental Biology or Microbiology.  

It takes about 8 - 12 years of college to get a PhD.  That's a 4-year bachelors degree in biology, followed by a 2-year masters degree, then 2-6 years for the PhD depending on you, your topic, and your adviser.

Scientists with PhDs make anywhere from $60,000 to $150,000 or more depending on what you're doing and where you're doing it (and how long you've been doing it).
