Human evolutionary developmental biology
== I chose this article because it was similar to concepts covered in Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy. This topic matters because it is a specific subset of developmental/evolutionary biology that refers specifically to humans. My preliminary impression of what it was is described in the aforementioned sentence. ==

(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

== The article begins with a concise lead section, but does not allow for a first sentence that allows the reader to understand the whole topic. Evolutionary developmental biology should be defined in the first sentence, not just described as a subset. The lead section does not well-define descriptions of major sections in the article. There is no content expressed in the lead section that is not discussed later in the article. The leading source in the first major section is 10 years old, indicating a potential need for a newer, more accurate source. The article lacks discussion of Hominids specifically. The tone of the article in major sections is neutral throughout and does not suggest persuasive language. There were times grammar mistakes were evident that need to be corrected to improve the flow throughout the article. Some major article sections including Human and Primate Development need more structure to conclusions and clearer connection to proceeding sections. The overall conclusion of the article needs to be written in order to summarize findings and provide clarity for readers. As for sources, some of them are more current/relevant than others. Another literature search should be performed to determine if articles pre-2015 can be updated. Further, there are good, peer-reviewed journals but not many meta-analyses or reviews. The talk page also outlines some issues with reference formatting and content. ==
