Review by Martin Walker[edit]

  • Coverage and factuality: 5
Rather narrow in scope, I'd like to see some more biology aspects that do not directly relate to evolution of homo sapiens. Needs refs.
  • Writing style: 6
A little dry, so hard to read in places (Note: I'm not familiar with the topic).
  • Structure: 6
I'd like to see more sections, but that may relate to the narrow scope (see above)
  • Aesthetics: 8
I liked the pictures a lot, and the two boxes are great.
  • Overall: 6

Review by violet/riga[edit]

  • Coverage and factuality: 5
Looks at evolution, but has very few details about Australopithecus. Very poor referencing.
  • Writing style: 4
Does not grab attention and leaves the reader with confusion.
  • Structure: 4
Not a natural order; poorly structured; horribly short lead.
  • Aesthetics: 7
Two good images.
  • Overall: 5

The article is very hard to read and poor in quite a few areas. violet/riga (t) 20:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
