I enjoy looking at evolution and the thought of "survival of the fittest" really interests me so I wanted to look more into it.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is done very well; it is very short and concise but gives a good summary and overview of what the article will talk about. The content is done extremely well, very in depth and explanatory of the different subtopics. The article remains balanced, rather than pushing one bias or another it simply states facts and doesn't involve opinions or personal thoughts. Some of the sources are a little old, there could be better sources that are more recent, but as far as the quality and use of them go it was great. The information that was used was correct and the citations were placed in the right spot. The structure of the article is great, it really flows well and is easy for readers to follow along; the subtopics are broken up well enough so that information does not get repeated more than once or twice. The subtopics are also structured and ordered well so allow for an easy read. The images used are captioned well but I think the article could benefit from it having more pictures or visual representations to help engage the reader. Overall I think it was a really well done article, the only thing's I could improve on would be more visuals to keep the reader engaged, and also just have more information; the information given was very high quality, but the overall article seemed more of an introduction to fitness in biology more than an article someone would use for research.
