 * Introduction is clear and concise. Provides birth and death dates and lists his professions
 * Early Life and Education section is thorough and well-cited. One thing to consider is adding information about Osborn's childhood influences if there are sources that provide this information.
 * Theories section with Dawn Man Theory, Evolutionary Views and Race sub-sections are definitely lacking in comparison to the Early Life and Childhood and Career sections.
