How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"I suppose it changes your field a bit?"
"It changes everything." (3.17.4-5)
Obviously, scientists have learned a lot about dinosaurs from studying their bones, but studying them alive and in the wild would teach them so much more. Even today, scientists are not so sure how dinosaurs actually behaved. The imagined technological advances in Jurassic Park would change entire scientific fields and disciplines.
Quote #2
"Zoos don't recreate nature," Malcolm said. "Let's be clear. Zoos take nature that already exist and modify it very slightly…" (3.18.26)
Malcolm points out that what Hammond is doing at Jurassic Park is fundamentally different from what zoos do. Hammond has used technology to create whole new creatures and place them into an alien environment.
Quote #3
"All the animals in Jurassic Park are female." (3.19.184)
This was Wu's means of preventing breeding and overpopulation. He's engineered the dinosaurs to be female. As we know, he blunders: his genetic engineering doesn't take into account the biological components he's using. Some of the animals become male because he's used frog DNA to supplement the dino DNA—and some frog DNA allows for sex changes. Oops.
