Option 2

 * Article title: Primate Cognition
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes, I am aiming more towards writing an article about primate cognition and how relevant and close it is compared to humans. This article provides some context to the subject.
 * Is it written neutrally? I am not sure. There is a lot of information regarding older scientists that have contributed to the earlier findings of primate cognition and not much on modern discoveries.
 * Does each claim have a citation? Maybe, some of the claims have a link to a citation but overall I would have to go through the sources and figure out where the information came from.
 * Are the citations reliable?Yes, the sources appear to be reliable.
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)? No, it does not.
