Well, this one looks like more of a general concept. Not a lot of blanks that look like math or chemistry today.
Article length is medium (about 9 screens worth on my big monitor); article title is 11 characters.
That three-letter word near the start of the first sentence - "███████████ is the ███ of █████████ ███████ ██████████ of the ████ ███████ as ████." - sure looks like "act" or "art" to me.
So, first few guesses: act, 2 hits; physical (no idea why I tried this, just a hunch), 1 hit; are and more, 19 hits each. And there's an interesting hit for more in the first paragraph: "in more than █,███ ███████." Seven letters - too many to be cities and too few to be countries (or languages for that matter).
Wow, 0 hits for history or war. That's unusual. 0 for religion or culture. 0 for personal.
"before, during or after ██████████" makes me want to guess stage - 2 hits. And 2 for change, but 0 for changes.
Okay, so I was going to guess metamorphosis, but that's 13 letters, not 11. Ah, heck, I'll guess it anyway - nope, 0 hits.
"within the ███████████" made me think "within the cell" (obviously too short for that blank, but it seemed like a reasonable concept for the phrases I've got so far), but no, 0 hits.
"███-on-███" sure looks like "one-on-one"; yep, that's correct.
"███████████ is the act of █████████ another ██████████ of the ████ ███████ as ████." made my brain think "Abdication is the act of designating another member (or something longer) of the royal family as king (or heir) - but none of the word lengths match.
Well, new at least got me New Guinea.
Okay, I tried infanticide and that got me a heading, but not the title.
And after WAY too long, I'm giving up - it's almost time for the next puzzle - so I searched
infanticide new guinea "same species" site:wikipedia.org
and got cannibalism.
Really?
Ugh.
