issue：
The main benefit of the study of history is to dispel the illusion that people living now are significantly different from people who lived in earlier times.
argument：
Collectors prize the ancient life-size clay statues of human figures made on Kali Island but have long wondered how Kalinese artists were able to depict bodies with such realistic precision. Since archaeologists have recently discovered molds of human heads and hands on Kali， we can now conclude that the ancient Kalinese artists used molds of actual bodies， not sculpting tools and techniques， to create these statues. This discovery explains why Kalinese miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style： molds could be used only for life-size sculptures. It also explains why few ancient Kalinese sculpting tools have been found. In light of this discovery， collectors predict that the life-size sculptures will decrease in value while the miniatures increase in value.
