According to the reading passage, it is stated that there are some reliable theories about the reasons why Steller's sea cows extincted. However, the professor in the listening part explains why the assumptions mentioned in the reading passage were incorrect and refutes them by developing three reasons as follows.
Fisrt of all, the reading passage claims that sea cows may be overhunted by native people due to the fact that they were a good source of nutrition. On the other hand, the professor casts doubt on this point by mentioning that sea cows were massive and heavy animals, which usually were in a length of nine meters. Therefore, one sea cow could provide enough nutrition for the small vilage dwellers for weeks, and there was no need to overhunt them.
Secondly, the reading posits that the sea cows may extincted because of the ecosystem disturbances. Moreover, kelp, which was one of their vital nutrition source, could easily disturbed by ecological changes. In contrast, the lecturer states that if there was some severe changes in ecological situations, it would influence other creatures, too. There is no evidence of decline in other animals such as some marine animals, like whale. Besides, since there was no noticable change in ecological conditions,there was no decreas in the amount of kelp, and they could not affect sea cows' extinction.
Finally, the reading says that the emmerge of European fur traders with weapons to the sea cows' lands, may brought sea caws about extinction. The professor opposes this idea by mentioning that sea cows had experienced decline in their population before the fur traders advent. As a result, fur traders should not be accepted as the main reason for their extinction.
