The lecturer talks about the proposed theories mentioned in the passage giving explanation of why the animals had a larger size in history. The lecturer considers the theories to be irrelevant with lack of scientific evidence. The lecturer casts various doubts to the theories by putting forth scientific explanations.
In the first theory, the passage states that the large size of the animals was due to abundant supply of oxygen in the earth’s early environment. This statement in the passage is supported by point that oxygen rich environments stimulate growth and produce array of large animal varieties. The lecturer opposes the claim by stating that the volcanic eruptions during the early times caused spread of harmful gases in the earth’s environment, thus reducing the oxygen content in the
atmosphere. This claim made by the lecturer thus weakens the explanation put forth in the first passage.
Second theory points that the availability of plant life served as a source of nutrition to the early animals thus helping them to grow efficiently. As the size increase is genetically transmitted through generations, the passage states that the size of animals will tend to grow as long as there is enough supply of nutrition rich food. This lecture contradicts thid hypothesis stating that even though there was abundance of plant food on earth in early times the nutrition content was very low. The gases contaminants reduced the nutrition value in the food. Thus with this claim of the lecturer the theory loses its creditability.
Thirdly the passage states that the warm climate on earth in the early times stimulated growth in animals, as the animals did not expend much energy and the excess energy would be used to generate cells needed for larger body. The lecturer on the other hand disapproves this theory and considers it nonsensical. He states that majority of animals tend to live in warmer regions and not all have larger body. On the other hand the large size of animals turns out to be disadvantageous for animals as it requires more energy to cool itself and hence requires more food to meet the need for more energy. With these claims and their scientific explanation the lecturer weakens the theories in the passage.
