TPO 43

The reading and the lecture discuss probable theories about the life of agnostics and their habits. The reading states three theories regarding this issue. However, from the lecturer's view, the mentioned theories have different weaknesses and they are not strong enough to be persuasive. Hence, she repudiates them all.

First, the reading states that the agnostics can be considered as free-swimming predators. On the contrary, the lecturer posits that other types of primitive arthropods had large well-developed eyes. Having eyes with such characteristics is essential to track the prey by swimming well. However, the agnostics had tiny and poor eyes and even sometimes they were blind. Therefore they can not be considered as free-swimming predators. They should have special organisms which were useful for following the prey effectively, while the remained fossils do not show this matter.

Secondly, the author claims that the agnostids have lived on the seafloor. The professor opposes this point by saying that, the agnostics were not able to move fast which is indispensable for seafloor dwellers. Since, the agnostics have moved slowly and localized in a special area, they could not go new areas. In fact, they just occupied small regions.

Finally, according to the article, it is likely that they were parasites who live and feed off larger organisms. In contrast, The lecturer argues that the population of the parasites is not very large. In fact, they have certain limits for expanding the population. However, the agnostics' population is very large. They were in a vast area. This assertion is based on the detected fossils which have had great size.
