The reading claims that agnostids as the primitive arthropods-relatives of modern insects behaved and lived in three main ways. However, the lecturer finds all the ideas dubious and presents some evidence to refute them all.
First of all, the author argues that the agnostids were swift predators that might have hunted smaller see animals because of their similarity with other types of primitive arthropods. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that primitive arthropods possessed large well-developed eyes which are vital for hunting their prey. On the other hand, the fossil remains of agnostids indicate that they had very tiny and poorly developed eyes. Researchers speculated that they might have been blind. Thus, they had to chase after their prey using other special organs to help them. However, their fossils lack that sort of organs.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that agnostids may have lived in the seafloor. On the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that animals which live in seafloor are not capable of moving so fast across the sea. As a result, they often do not spread over the sea. However, agnostid fossils have been found in many multiple areas which means they probably might have been able to move quickly across the large areas of the sea. This ability is incompatible with the characteristic of animals which are inhabiting the seafloor.
Finally, the reading asserts that agnostids were parasites just like modern-day arthropods. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that the population of parasites species is not very large since they can kill the host organisms and this cycle will harm themselves as well. However, the large population of agnostids demonstrated in the number of fossils contradicts with this fact.
