Fossil evidence indicates that the blompus-an extremely large, carnivorous land mammal-inhabited the continent of Pentagoria for tens of thousands of years until its sudden decline and ultimate extinction about twelve thousand years ago. Scientists have determined that the extinction coincided with a period of significant climate change and with the arrival of the first humans. Some scholars theorize that the climate change so altered the distribution of plants and animals in the environment that the food chain upon which the blompus depended was irretrievably disrupted. Others contend that predation by humans is the more plausible explanation for the rapid population decline.

Write a response in which you discuss specific evidence that could be used to decide between the proposed explanations above.

The argument describe the existence of large inhabitant species named BLOMPUS . BLOMPUS according to evidence represent as big carnivorous animal present for 10000 years but sudden a decline in their presence is dubious. in argument there is some unexplained and unclear logics points as well as some questionable assumptions. There are several objections one can raise to the reasoning of this argument.

On the critical view the climatic change was the most probable reasons for the animal's extinction. In the case thus we assume that the climate change has a great impact on wiping out these species. The climate change may have been mild that probably had no effect on the BLOMPUS except for the fact that it coincided with its extinction.

On contrast on the same pace, it is considered that huge span of the blompus' life, it is likely that there may have been other instances of climate change. The BLOMPUS survived those changes, which makes it even more dubious to say it was wiped out by the said climate change without stating its severity. Climate severity is not explained. A description of the nature of climate shift might useful evidence support the claims made by the argument.

Another logic that may strong argument as the arrival of humans as they also have big structure may be they start haunting and killing of these big species at the time of the BLOMPUS' extinction. While it is likely that the Homosapiens at the time resorted to predation and hunting for their food, how they managed to kill supposedly large carnivorous animals still remains unexplained. The early humans are unlikely to have developed tools and techniques advanced enough to hunt extremely large carnivores like the blompus. Also, it cannot be assumed that the BLOMPUS constituted a major part of the human hunting for food.

Different evidences might be useful in strengthening the claims of the arguments are mentions like the nature of the climate change, the nature of the humans as predators and the food habits of the BLOMPUS that would help in understanding the extinction due to disruption of food chain. With its stated assumptions and above mentioned logical flaws, the argument is logically unclear and thus it remains unstated .

Sentence: While it is likely that the Homosapiens at the time resorted to predation and hunting for their food, how they managed to kill supposedly large carnivorous animals still remains unexplained.
Error: predation Suggestion: No alternate word

flaws:
You only discussed that they are not possible to cause the extinction separately , but the extinction was still happened.

Read the requirement:
Write a response in which you discuss specific evidence that could be used to decide between the proposed explanations above.

so when the climate and human work together, it may cause the extinction, for example:

1. the climate was very warm, and human brought a virus

2. or the climate was very cold, and human ate a food which is on the animal's food chain.
