통합형, The DODO

In the lecture, the speaker casts doubts on the reason for the deappearnce of the dodo
in the reading. The lecturerer maintains that humans were not the reason
why the dodo is disappeared.

To begin with, The lecturerer maintains that, the Cutch never hunted the dodo.
This contradicts the idea in the reading that since they had no fear of humans,
they were easily hunted by Dutch people and even thir animals.
However, The main argument described by the speaker is that the Dutch did not
enjoy the taste of its meat.

Second, according to the lecture, Dutch's deforestation did not cover the entire island
nor did it kill other birds. The reading passage, on the other hand, states that
deforestration by the Dutch destroyed the dodo's natural habitats.
In fact, the lecturer argues that dodos did not nest in trees, so their disppearance did not bothered the dodo.

Finally, The reading asserts that a disease brought by the Dutch may have killed the dodos.
On the other hand, the lecturer points out that, the dodo population may already have been
declining. Moreover, the speaker asserts that the extinction of the dodo on massive cyclones
that destroyed their nests and eggs.
