TPO-34
The reading and the lecture are both about the Steller's sea cow. It lived in the water around Bering Island in Siberia and became extinct in 1768. The author of the reading has provided three theories about the cause of the extinction. The lecture cast doubt on each theory explain in the article. He thinks that each theory has a problem.
First, the author of the reading states that the sea cow may have been overhunted by the native Siberian people. He believes that the sea cow was the good source of food for the native people. This point is challenged by the lecture. He suggests that the Sea cow was the huge animal (serve the large group of people) and the Siderian population was small. Therefore, the Siberian people might have hunted few sea cows, but it is unlikely that the hunting had laid to the extinction of the species.
Second, the author states that the Sea cow population may have extinct due to the ecosystem disturbance. He believes that the Kelp- source of food for the sea cow, would respond negatively to the ecological changes. Hence, due to the shortage of the food, the sea cow would have extinct. The lecture refutes this idea. He suggests that the ecological changes should have affected the other part of the ecosystem. For example, The Whale should get declined. However, there was no report of the changes in the other part of the ecosystem. Therefore, ecosystem disturbance theory is not plausible.
Third, the author mentions that the European people had hunted the sea cow for the fur. He believes that European fur trader had the weapon which can quickly kill the sea cow. However, the lecture, on the other hand, suggests that the sea cow population was already declined before the European people arrived in the Siberia. Therefore, it cannot believe that the European fur trader would have caused the extinction of the sea cow.
