The main topic of both the reading and the lecture is about the main causes of the Steller's sea cows extinction. The reading passage claims that there are three theories and reasons for this phenomenon. On the other hand, the lecturer not only categorically casts doubt on every single point raised by the author of the reading passage through citing three counter-arguments but also believes that none of the mentioned theories is reasonable and enough clear and all of them have problems.
To begin with, the author establishes that due to the fact that Sea cows were a great food resource in a strict situation, therefore, the Siberian people might have hunted a large number of those animals. In contrast, the lecturer rebuts this idea, stating that a Sea cow was a huge and massive creature with nine meters long and more than ten tons weight which could feed a large number of the Siberian people; however, the population of Siberian people was not sufficiently large to need to that amount of food resources to hunt and led the sea cows to become extinct.
Furthermore, the reading passage brings up this idea that the destruction of ecosystems might be a reason for that huge extinction because it led to a decline in the food resources of those cows called kelp. Conversely, the lecturer supports a mutually exclusive view compared to that of the passage and explains that the mentioned phenomenon really happened in 1768 but it did not just affect kelp, it led to a decrease in other marine animals as well. However, under such a circumstance, no decline in the population of whales was observed. He also mentions that at that time, kelp grew very well and no decrease in the amount of that plant was reported.
Eventually, the reading passage goes on to mention that another theory for the extinction of those animals could have been the European fur traders. Notwithstanding, the lecturer points out that it is true that the extinction of those animals happened after European arrived; however, the population of sea cows was already quite small before European traders arrived in that area. Consequently, this theory does not seem reasonable and there is another reason for this huge extinction
