The author of the passage and the lecturer in the audio both discuss whether bees existed on the Earth as early as 200 million years ago. The author put forth his three assumptions that signify that bees could not have existed on the Earth 200 million years ago, however, the lecturer contradicts to the assumptions made by the author in the passage.
As per the passage, the author asserts that the existence of the bees was not feasible 200 million years ago because there was no fossil remains of the actual bees found during that period. Second, the author contends that there was also no any evidence of flowering plants, which is the main food for the bees. Consequently, this implies that the bees did not even exist. Third, the author implies that the fossilized structures found in Arizona lacked some of the finer details of bee’s nest.
On the other hand, the lecturer in the audio contradicts the aforementioned assumptions by the author in the passage. As per the lecturer, those assumptions were not convincing enough. Thus, the lecturer believes that the existence of bees might have be feasible 200 million years ago. First, the lecturer asserts that it is the there was no any evidence of fossil remains of actual bees but it is possible that the nest of the bees could not be preserved. Furthermore, the trees that possess sticky liquid that preserves the nest of bees might be rare relative to present time. Second, the lecturer asserts that bees could also survive without feeding on flowering plants. They might also feed on non-flowering plants like fern and pine trees, however, later, the bees adapted to feed on flowering plants.
Finally, the lecturer implies that even though the fossilized structures lacked finer details of bee’s nest, they possessed same chemical evidence of special water proofing material as that of present nest.
