The average body size of a certain seal type reveals information about their population levels. Smaller average body sizes in seal populations indicate a larger population. Fossils show that during an 800-year period when seals were hunted by Native Americans, the average body size of seals did not vary significantly.

The population size of northern fur seals likely did not vary significantly over the 800-year period when they were hunted by Native Americans for food.

This is unsupported because different hunting practices could occur at the same time that the seal body size and population remain constant.

This is unsupported because the stimulus gives us no information to assess the health of the seals, which could be independent from population size.

This is unsupported because the fossil evidence only covers the 800-year period, meaning we don’t know what happened before or after that period.

This is unsupported because there could be many other reasons that explain the constant body size of seals outside of intentionally limited hunting practices.

This is strongly supported because if the Native peoples had significantly reduced the population, we would expect the average size of the seals to have changed.
