Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Homo Erectus


 * Article Evaluation
 * This articles content is relevant as it states historical data and facts on homo erectus and also describes the prime characteristics of erectus. The article does remain neutral as it stays factual with footnotes after every two to three sentences. The citations all seem to be scholarly as they seem to come from educational institutions. The talk page shows multiple wikipedians talking about updating articles and other outside information that might be useful.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Eugene Dubois


 * Article Evaluation
 * The information seems relevant as they start with an introduction to his life nd lead into his work. There aren't many sources to work off from here but the article is short as it is so it potentially needs more work and editing. The talk page doesn't show much editing so this article could use some work or more information but the information is solid overall.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Neanderthal extinction


 * Article Evaluation
 * The contents are accurately stating the information about Neanderthals and the different causes of extinction and in that same list almost every reason has a footnote indicating that research has been made in depth on each cause. The article remains neutral and almost gives us a narrative on the timeline and how these Neanderthals disappeared. The talk page here shows edits from 2011 meaning this has constantly been revised as the last revision was in 2021

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Homo Habilis


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is long as well just like the sexual dimorphism topic but the information is constantly having footnotes on the claims. The article remains neutral through stating historical information and giving zero biased claims as this topic is touchy for reasons. the talk page has multiple people talking and giving feedback to make the article better. The citations are credible as most seem to be from institutional and scholarly articles.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Sexual dimorphism


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is long and split into many different sections as there are sections for the different kinds of dimorphism for both animals and plants. the subcategries breakdown even more into specific animals. The source list is extensive and the talk page has a multitude of comments and suggestions that probably indicated this article is most likely refined already.
