The reading and the lecture discuss agnostids which are an extinct group of marine animals, and there is evidence that they were arthropods relatives of modern insects. The author proposes some theories about how they lived and how they behaved. The professor brings into question the claims made in the article. He considers that each reading’s theory has weaknesses.
First, the author comes up with the idea that the agnostids were free-swimming predators which hunted smaller animals because of the other known primitive animals’ behavior. However, the professor argues that they had well-developed eyes in contrast to the other primitive animal’s tiny poorly- developed eyes. therefore, it is not accurate to compare them.
Second, the author states that agnostids may survive to dwell on the seafloor by eating dead organisms like other types of animals did. Meanwhile, the professor rebuts this argument by pointing out that the difference between the agnostids and the other animals is that they could move large distances pretty fast in order to inhabit in the seafloor, which the other animals could not do.
Finally, the author contends that the agnostids may be parasites because nowadays, some arthropods species are parasites, besides, they could have lived in large arthropods such as primitive fish or others. The professor, on the other hand, posits that the population of agnostids were extremely large, so, they killed off the primitives species which they, according to the reading, may live on.
