In the lecture, the speaker casts doubts on the idea fossils have to be protected, so private

companies have to be banned from excavation. By providing counter examples, the lecture
claims that it is better for the private companies to excavate places with archeological
potentials than the government agencies and scientists.
To begin with, the lecture contradicts the idea that digging the bones up for the financial
purpose in negative for scientists. According to the reading passage, the private companies
are interested in making the biggest money, not in the scientific research. Also, the since the
scientists who want to find the scientific clues for evolutionary will be interrupted, the studies
can be slowed. However, the lecture points out that it is better to make money and pay tax
will make better results in finance. Also, the private organizations have fewer stages than the
governmental agencies, so they can move and extract the bones faster. In addition, if more
people try to find the bones, the more outcome will be founded, so scientists will have more
fossils to study.
Secondly, the lecture contends that scientists can also access the bones even though the
private companies excavate. In the reading, scientists will have less chances to study because
they have to compete with the companies. There are not really a lot of scientists who study
the evolutionary biology, so it is important to prioritize. However, if the companies start
digging the fossils up, the scientists might be chased by the time to study the site. On the
contrary, the lecture indicates that the private companies also hire the experts, so there are
opportunities. Also, they are going to sell and display the bones to the museum. Scientists can
study about them.
Lastly, the lecture asserts that the private money possibly make the excavation more
complete. Based on the reading, since private companies can dig the fossils, there is a risk of
damaging the fossils. The private companies often use the huge industrial machines to dig the
bones. Since no one knows that where the bone is exactly, the machines might destroy the
fossils. Additionally, they will hire the employees who do completely not have the knowledge
about the fossils. Nevertheless, the speaker maintains that there will be few risks to lose the
bones if more people are working to find the bones. In addition, the Scientists also make
mistakes. There is also a possibility that scientists might harm/damage the fossils or there is a
possibility for the fossils to be harmed by the scientists.
