The reading passage and the lecture are both about the existence of bees as early as 200 years ago. In the reading passage, the author describes the views of critics, who cast doubt on the evidence provided by the result of the fossil structure study. They provide three possible explanations for their doubt on the existence of the bees at an early age. However, the lecturer challenges the claims made by critics. The lecturer is of the opinion that it is possible to exist bees at an early age.
First of all, the author says that there are no actual fossils of actual bees. In the article, it is mentioned that fossils of bees were found which were only 100 million years old. The lecturer challenged this argument. He says that it might be possible that bees existed as early as 200 million years old, but at that time there were no specific trees producing resins that can be used to preserve actual bees. He additionally says that due to the lack of preserving chemicals at an early age, fossils of actual bees were not found, but later due to the availability of the trees producing resins, bees were preserved.
Secondly, the writer suggests that there was no flowering plant at that time, so bees are evolved later. In the article, it is mentioned that bees have a special relationship with the flowering plant so they must evolve together. Since flowering plants was reported to evolve later, bees must also evolve later. This point is rebutted by the lecturer. He points out that bees were evolved as early age 200 million years old and ate other nonflowering plants. He mentions that later flowering plants developed and they might change their feeding habit.
Thirdly, the author posits that the structure found in the fossils record lacks some details such as a spiral pattern as found in the modern bees. In contrast, the lecturer says that through the chemical analysis of the substance, it is clear that the composition of materials found in fossils and that of substance produced by modern bees is the same.
