This one looks a little more challenging - I'm not immediately seeing a lot of patterns or phrases that suggest anything - except for "from the ██████ up" in the last sentence, which suggests ground or bottom.
Bottom has no hits; it's ground.
The first words are "███████ is the ██████ of ..." and that second blank is six letters long, not seven, so possibly system rather than process. So - there are three hits for system, but that's not one of them.
For some reason, "The █████ is:" made me think order, and that was correct; just 3 hits, though. But interestingly: "The order is: ██████; ███████; ██████; █████; order; ██████; █████; ███████." So what's a sequence with order in it?
Ah - "in the Near ████," - East? Yes. But that's just a single hit.
Okay, I just noticed this sentence:
"For it is [the ████] of ███████ ███████ ███ ██████ to ██████ ████ ██ ███ ████ but to ███████ into the ██████ of ███████ ██████."
and that should give me some clues.
So, re-reading, it suddenly hit me that order was part of the classification of species, and indeed species gets me 17 hits.
And there we go: species, classification, and biology give me lots of hits. Now: can I figure it out from there?
And after a few not-great guesses - family, plant, marine (I thought the first word of the first bullet point at the end might be marine, I figured zoology might be a category heading - but of course it turned out to be the topic itself.
Skimming the fully-revealed article, I see that that quote was
"For it is [the task] of natural science not simply to accept what we are told but to inquire into the causes of natural things."
which shows me that my (untried) guess of natural for natural science was right, and I should have put that in. (Not sure how much help it would have given me, but still.)
