Both scientific journals and literature have a similar objective and theme.  Both try to grab their readers’ attention by discussing one place and time that the authors themselves are intrigued by.  Evolution is prevalent in both and, eventually, a conclusion concerning the particular evolution must be written to satisfy the taste of their readers.  Scientific journals typically discuss the importance of a particular organism (usually an animal or plant) in its natural environment and investigate a variety of possibilities to how that organism evolved or has lived, which ends with the most logical of suspected conclusions.  This is not very different from literature, where a reader is acquainted with a number of different characters, who, over the course of the book, emotionally and physically evolve, culminating at the conclusion.
