How agnostids have lived

The material discusses how agnostids may have lived. While the reading looks at the topic from one perspective, the listening challenges certain points outlined in the reading passage.

First, the reading says that agnostides were free-swimimg predators. On the other hand, the listening opposes this and states that free-swimming predators should have large and well developed eyes; however, agnostides had very tiny and poorly developed eyes. The professor adds that some of them were completely blind. Furthermore, the lecturer mentions that if agnostides were predators, they should have other special sensory organs, but there is no evidence of that. As a result, the speaker states that all these reasons could rule out the possibility of agnostids to be predators.

Second, the writer posits that agnostids were seafloor dwellers. On the contrary, the lecturer refutes this and mentions that seafloor dwellers do not have the ability to move fast, so they occupy a small geographic area. Nevertheless, the professor mentions that agnostids were habitas a large geographic area; moreover, there were large distances between these areas. The lecturer points out that agnostids could move very fast, so there were not seafloor dwellers.

Third, the reading states that agnostids were parasites. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and mentions that parasites polpulations should not be very large, but they should keep on a certain limit. The speaker explains that if there are too many parasites, they could kill their hots. One the other hand, the lecturer adds that there were a large population of agnostids, so their great size of population rule out their possibility to be parasites.
