It may be checkmate in your book but we were playing "Chutes and ladders".
I am an atheist, but I would be very wary about using the term 'transitional species', for anything which is alive, today. A species which is alive today is a pinnacle of evolution. It's only when you are talking about something in the past which is between 'ancestor species' and 'current species' that you can use the word 'transitional.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
