Two Successes: 1) Clear writing at the sentence and paragraph level--good! 2) This concisely introduces viviparity and the
alternatives for unfamiliar readers. REsearch is relevant and good! Two Challenges: 1) I think I'd just build your "So What" topic.
This helps humans and other mammals quite a lot, right? Explain that more fully. (People especially like to read about
themselves, so the human section would be a draw). That will help you reach the four page mark, too.
