Evolution myths put right: monkeys, the strongest and missing links, sentence 4

And Pokémon do not evolve in the science sense: one creature changing in its own life is growing up, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, while evolution happens to whole groups over many generations.

Who acts: Pokémon, one creature, caterpillar, evolution · What happens: not evolve, change, grow up, become, happen · To what, where: science sense, own life, butterfly, many generations

This is a sentence of the lesson «Evolution myths put right: monkeys, the strongest and missing links» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Pokémon, one creature, caterpillar, evolution), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
