Summary Introduction
To determine: The explanation whether the given graph provides the knowledge about the timing of increased hunting of the species other than the two heavily hunted species.
Introduction: The whalers hunted whales on a large scale so that they can get good market prices by selling their organs, oils, scales, and bones. The overhunting of whales made diversity reduced to a very low degree. Whales were hunted until the diversity of whales did not reach to the least number.
