How Evolution connects Entity context

The extracted context around Evolution shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Evolution → Advancement, Alfred Russel Wallace, Alfred Wallace, America's, American Association, An Essay, Charles Darwin, Darwin, Darwin's, Linnean Society, London, Marsh, Origin, Othniel, Partly, Population, Principle, Science, Sparing, Species Another extracted example is Evolution → Aristotelian, Attributes, Buffon, Carl Linnaeus, Charles Darwin, Comte, Deity, Erasmus Darwin, Evidences, Existence, Georges Cuvier, Georges-Louis Leclerc, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's, John Ray, Lamarckism, Natural Theology, New Science, Pierre Louis Maupertuis, Ray's, The Scientific Revolution. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
