You are expected to cover the following points:

First paragraph: Restate (in your own words) what seems to be the thesis statement of the article, i.e., the hypothesis being tested, the theory being examined, and/or the goal of the article. This should be located within the first few pages. Why do you think this paper was published?
Second/third paragraphs: Briefly explain the methods used by the authors to test the hypothesis. Also mention their main findings, and provide a 1-2 sentence statement on their conclusions.
Fourth paragraph: Provide a quote from the article that you find interesting, and translate it into your own words. Tell me why you selected this quote (e.g. it is confusing, you agree/disagree with the author(s), etc.)
Fifth/Sixth/Seventh paragraphs: Provide a critique of the article. Since evolutionary theory is new to you, you can discuss aspects that did not make sense to you. Also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the article. Did the authors use good methods to test their hypotheses? Should they have tested the hypotheses differently? Could there possibly be another explanation to explain the results? These are just a few questions to get you started. This section of the paper is where you need to demonstrate critical thinking skills, so think outside the box!
