Option 1

 * Article title Homo bodoensis
 * Article Evaluation
 * The history being discussed in this article is very vague. I do believe that it should explain the history more in depth as it would help explain the background and connect the main topic. I feel like it just throws the Homo bodoensis into topic of conversation but does not explain what happened before and after the existence of Homo bodoensis, I would also like to add pictures to the different time frames of history that are being discussed. The articles content does relate to the topic. It is written in a semi neutral term. No i do not think the article tackles one of wikipedias equity gaps as it skims over a lot of the history in a short manner.

Option 2

 * Article title Human evolution
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a small section dedicated to human evolution. I do think that this section is kind of really small but I it summarizes a big topic in a efficient manner.
 * Really the only thing I would say that is necessary to add is the biological aspects of evolution, and not just stating the stages of evolution that occurred.
 * This articles content is relevant, it has a lot of topics but one of the topics does discuss human evolution. It is written in a neutral term. The citations do seem verifiable and like a good academic tool. I do think this article tackles the wiki gap as the article has multiple topics and connects the ideas to the main topic. Other people have contributed to the article as well.

Option 3

 * Article title Timeline of human evolution
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is a little vague on human evolution. as it focuses more on evolution of all species. The section that pertains to human evolution has a very small section that seems to be under 500 characters. To add more I would add more pictures and I during the evolution timeline I would try to add more detail as to how the environments were. I would also try to illustrate their lives during those timeframes. Is the article related to the topic, yes it has a section. It is also written in a neutral term but I just feel like it needs to summarize their lives more and not just an event.

Option 4

 * Article title Late Pleistocene
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very brief on the different time zones that it discusses. Overall I would say that the article is formal, and does provide an adequate amount of information. My recommendation for this article would essentially be to add "fluff". Just some more details that pertain to human evolution in the different time zones, and the other living organisms also. I would like to discuss how they ended up there, the environment in which they were in, what caused them to move, and how the different organism were able to coexist.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Middle Paleolithic


 * Article Evaluation
 * I really liked the article and the content that is mentioned. I do believe that the article is a little short, and could use some editing when it comes to discussing human anatomical differences from other organisms that allowed them to be differentiated from other organisms. In my opinion I believe that it would be beneficial to expand on the anatomical aspect of human evolution. With this expansion you could discuss physical characteristics, nutrition habits, and behavioral habits that made humans significantly different from other organisms.
