Aleš Hrdlička

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The article is about a Czech anthropologist who pioneered the theory of North America's native populations being migrated from East Asia. This is important because it's become a very relevant theory in the evolution of humans.

Evaluate the article
The lead page feels incomplete, as it mentions Aleš' birthplace and date and his subsequent move to the U.S. but not much else. The lead page could benefit from adding a summation of his important findings.

The content of the page feels lopsided, as there seems to be more of a focus on Aleš life as a young adult in Czechoslovakia. The subsequent section on his career and findings feels small and segmented in comparison. The tone feels appropriately neutral, and provides context of things he's done under "Controversy and criticism" without being too slanted towards a specific stance.

The first link doesn't appear to work as intended. Instead of directly linking towards a PDF of Aleš life as it claims, it simply leads to the home page of the Smithsonian's Anthropology Institute. Some of the sources are books without any link, simply pointing to a page in a book.

The page has two pictures, both of Aleš seemingly at a similar points in his life.

The talk page is very inactive, with the last addition being made in 2017. The page is small and mostly discusses the spelling of the subject's name, with another post mentioning another controversy Aleš was a part of (This has since been added to the article).

Overall the article is in decent condition, but could be helped with some reorganization and some more modern sources.
