The passage and the lecture both talks about the Moai of Easter Island located in the Pacific Ocean. While the passage claims that the construction of Moai has led to decline in the human settlement, the lecture argues that the construction of Moai has merely effected the civilization at Easter Island.
Firstly, the article mentions that large number of natural resources specifically the tress were cut down to transfer the Moai to their resting place. However, the lecture claims that the islander has used series of ropes to transfer the statues to their intended location. Moreover, the lecture pointed out that this method did not needed use of any trees.
Secondly, the author of the article feels that felling of all the trees led to deforestation and caused an unbalanced life cycle in the island. The migratory birds not coming to the island anymore to the fishing industry getting collapsed are some of the consequences. On the contrary, the lecture has pointed out that, deforestation was caused by the rats brought in by the original inhabitants as food. The lecture claims that a recent research shows that palm seeds being chewed by rats.
Finally, the author claims that the activity has also effected the human settlement. The population of twenty thousand people has declined to only two thousand people when the Europeans first discovered the Easter island in the eighteenth Century. The lecture on the other hand feels, that there never was twenty thousand people on the island. Moreover, the lecture claims that the estimate was a misunderstanding and there never was more than two thousand people on the island.
