The article states that the bee did not exist 200 million years ago, and the author provides three reasons to support of his statement. However, the professor points out that the reasons are unconvincing and refutes the article.
First, the reading refers that there is no fossils of actual bees 200 million years ago.
It is mentioned that the earliest preserved body of bee is 100 million years old. However, the professor points out that the lack of fossil evidence might be due to the rare tree rasien, which served as the media to preserve the dead bee. Thus, no fossil evidence would not definitely indicate that there was no bee at that time.
In addition, the article points out that there was no flowering plant on the earth until 125 million years ago. Therefore, the bee is unlikely to exist before then since the bee is highly dependent on the flowering plant. Nevertheless, the professor argues that ancient bee might be fed on other types of plant species such as fern and pine tree. Thus, it is possible that the bee could survive without the existence of flowering plant.
Finally, the professor gives an additional evidence to strengthen her claim. Although the structure of the fossilized chambers lack some specific patterns of the nest of the bee, she points out that the waterproof substance in the chambers is identical to the material used by modern bees. The chemical evidence strongly support that the bee might exist 200 million years ago.
In sum, the professor in the lecture disagrees with the ideas in the reading passage. He believes the points of view menetioned in the reading passage is not true.
