Both the reading and the lecture are about the discovery of an old nest inside a 200-million- years-old fossilized tree. The author claims that this cannot be evidence that bees had existed 200 million years ago, and he provides three reasons. On the other hand, the lecturer rejects all of these ideas. She thinks none of these claims can disapprove of the existence of bees 200 million years ago.
First of all, the writer of the article claims that there is no fossil of bees which dates 200 million years. He mentions that the oldest fossil ever dates 100 million years, not more. The professor, however, challenges this idea. She states that the lack of bees' fossils isn't convincing proof for the absence of bees. Moreover, she says there might not be a suitable tree to produce proper resign to create and hold the fossils of bees.
Secondly, the essay implies that bees and flowering plants are in a close relationship, and since in those times, there were no signs of flowering plants, the presence of bees is impossible. The lecturer rebuts this concept. She points out that flowering plants might have evolved after bees, and during this time, bees had been feeding on some non-flowering plants.
Finally, the writer of the essay is of the opinion that these nest structures don't have a modern structure of bees' nest. He mentions that these ancient nest lack caps, which implies they are other insects’ nests. In contrast, the lecturer states that there is proof that this fossil is related to bees. She mentions that the same water-proof material, which is used by modern bees, has been found in this fossil, which shows this archaic nest is related to bees, not other species.
