4. Are there any key individuals identified in the original research that lead to the current accepted theories/model describing this concept/concept/process?
5. Choose one research article (from after 2017) that focus on the concept/process. Explain the importance of results/analysis in each paper that led to a greater understanding of this concept/process. What important fact(s)/idea(s) did the paper/research reveal?
