b) An image of ''Runcaria'' appears necessary - it will be less familiar to readers than ''Australopithecus'' or ''Archaeopteryx'', and the points made are quite technical (''anemophilous''); suggest a diagram, ideally comparing ''Runcaria'' with a modern seed.

c) It might be helpful to include a historic reconstruction image of ''Archaeopteryx'' in the 'History of transitional fossils' section - Commons has some - to show the impact of the 1861 find. In particular an image to show 'reptile with feathers' (ideally an early/Victorian reconstruction) would make the point clearly.
