TPO-43 - Integrated Writing Task

Agnostids were arthropods-relatives of modern insects which extinct 450 million years ago. The paleontologists give some theories on what agnostids ate or how they behaved based on fossils found in rocks; however, the speaker thinks there are serious weakness with these theories and refutes each one of them.

First, the article suggests that agnostids have been swimming predators that ate smaller animals because there were some types of arthropods that lived this way. In contrast, the lecturer says that predators should have large well eye because vision is very important to detect the prey, but agnostids did not have this function. Maybe they were blind, so there should be some other sensor to do the hunting with, but there is no evidence of other sensors in fossil remains.

Second, the article writes that agnostids may have been seafloor dwellers because there are some arthropods that lived the same way; however, the professor says that seafloor dwellers are not fast and cannot swim long distances while there are signs of agnostids in multiple areas which suggests that they were fast swimmers which is unusual for a seafloor dweller animal.

Finally, the article indicates that agnostids were parasites because many species of arthropods exist as parasites, but the lecturer says that parasites live in small population because they do not want to kill the host while we know there were a large population of agnostids, so they could not live as parasites.
