Option 1

 * Earliest known life forms
 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a fascinating article that contained relevant information and appears to deeply understand and address the topic of early life on Earth. Each of its claims has a citation that is reliable. While this article does not address one of Wikipedia's equity gaps, I'm not sure it should be expected to, as it is about an objective topic that exists beyond humanity. This article gives a lot of evidence speculations of early life on Earth, and I think it would benefit this article to go more in depth on a few of these so the reader gains a deeper understanding.

Option 2

 * Evolution of morality
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does a good job of covering many aspects that could have played into the evolution of morality. It frequently uses reliable sources and does not appear to have bias as it writes objectively about the evolutionary steps that could have resulted in morality. This article could be enhanced if it focused on more emotions besides disgust and possibly expanded on examples of the differences between animals and humans in terms of morality.
