In this set of materials, the lecture and passage both are discussing about, why the animals were so large in past? The reading passage claims that greater oxygen supply , abundant food source and warmer climate are the responsible factors for larger body of early animals. The lecturer however, contradicts with the reasons given in the passage and provides counter arguments to prove his assumptions.
First of all, the article states that during early periods of the earth, it had abundant supply of oxygen which in terms had stimulated the growth within species and flourished large variety of animals. The lecturer disagrees with this fact. He mentions that during early stages of earth there were lot of volcanic activities which made it difficult for animals to breath. This has resulted in lower supply of oxygen to them. So the first claim is false.
In addition, the author argues that there were enormous amount of food source available for animals. They got plenty of nutrition which owes to their huge body size. On the other hand, the speaker posits that even though, there were plenty of plants available for the animals as a food source, they were very less in nutrition. The fossilized study of these plants have proven them to be non-nutritious because there were less amount of carbon-DI-oxide available at that time for the plant growth as a result of contaminated gases in the atmosphere.
Furthermore, warmer climate is another noticeable reason provided in the passage. The orator refutes to this claim and states that warmer climate is not suitable for larger bodies. In order to maintain body temperature they need to cool off immediately. This will consume lot of energy. This cannot be the reason for a huge body size either.
