possibility of associating a new fossil found in america to the early bees in two million years ago
The passage and the talk both discuss the possibility of associating a new fossil found in america to the early bees in two million years ago. The author claims that the fossil can not be of a bee in that time. The lecturer, however, refutes the author's assessment. She demonstrates three reason to cast doubt on the claims made in the reading.
The first allegation of the passage against which the lecturer argues is that the fossil is for the bees' nest and they did not find any fossil of actual bees. However, the professor states that in that time there were not sticky substances of trees to preserve the fossil of insects, because there was not any kind of that trees.
Second, according to the reading, absence of flowering plants would result in lack of bees in that time, since the bees eat flowers; although the speaker finds this idea debatable. She bolsters her opinion by stating that early bees could use other plants as nutrition. And by arrival of the flowering plants in 125 million years ago, their eating habits changed.
Lastly, the lecture contradicts this fallacy of the passage that lacking of some finer details of the found fossil like spiral pattern cap shows that this fossil nest could be for other insects, saying that there is a chemical evidence that shows this fossil is for bees' nest. She says that there is a distinctive water chemical substance in the fossil that is the same material used by modern bees to construct their combs.
