The film's star Chris Pratt and paleontological consultant Jack Horner were featured in Jurassic World Science, the latest video by VSauce. Vsauce is an educational channel with over 8.9 million…
In her article entitled “Close Encounters of the Prehistoric Kind”, Science Magazine correspondent Ann Gibbons explains that due to interbreeding between Neanderthals and early modern humans, modern humans still contain traces of prehistoric Neanderthal DNA. According to researchers, Asians and Europeans most likely possess a higher frequency of Neanderthal genomes than Africans because the two species “occupied the [same regions] intermittently” in Europe, the Midwest, the Near East, and Russia and may have coexisted with one another for up to 10,000 years before the Neanderthal lineage died out. The article explains that Neanderthal genomes are present in “many people living outside of Africa” as there was not enough interbreeding occurring…
At the start of the movie they had scare resources. The ants did not have enough food for majority of the first part of the movie. They have to give most of the resources to the grasshoppers so they can be “protected”. One resource they lack the most was water they didn’t have any rain for majority of the movie.…
The style of the film can be debated and compared with the style of the original Planet of the Apes (1968), directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. Matt Reeves decided to focus more on the apes being the central part of the story. “The organic scope of the digitized character creation is breathtaking, using the technology to tell the story from the point of view of the apes, who remain the primary focus of the narrative.”(Kermode, 2014) Mark Kermode even goes on to say, “From its origins… to this state-of-the art 21st-century 3D-CG cinema outing, the darkly satirical Apes saga has proved both resilient and flexible.” (Kermode, 2014) A. O. Scott describes the cinematic quality of the film as having a type of grave, almost brooding beauty about it,…
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark was a very action-packed movie with the main character really not accomplishing his goal. The whole theme and the whole central idea of the film was that sometimes in life things are just meant to not be disturbed to be in your life. Indiana wanted that ark, he tried and risked his life to do as much as he could to get that ark. Only thing was that he was fighting against another archaeologist who also wanted it. With all the problems that it caused, none of them got to keep the ark, because it wasn’t meant to be kept. Way too many problems occur if you do attempt, which is what the movie demonstrated.…
Genetic engineering would be another ethical dilemma in bringing back the dinosaurs after they became extinct animals. There was a reason why natural selection took them off the face of the earth. The scientists took the DNA of dinosaurs from a mosquito that they found underground after it was fossilized in amber. With regard to what was said in the movie the scientists used frog DNA to fill the gaps between the dinosaurs DNA. It would have many scientists intrigued by this genetically engineered animal that was brought back to life but it would also have a lot of people scared if they somehow got their research stolen.…
James Henry Hammond was born in 1807 to Elisha and Catherine Hammond. His father never doubted that his son was a genius and Elisha lived, as his son later recounted, “for me and in me”.i He was raised in a household that preached that he would not turn out like most of the young southern gentlemen did at that time. James Henry Hammond was a highly intelligent man who succeeded at most everything he did or was instructed to do. He grew up in a typical southern home and atmosphere. It was instilled in him that failure was ‘not an option’ and his fear of failure led all the way until his death on…

The work of interest, Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. The novel is a techno thriller about an island of the coast of Costa Rica that serves as a zoological resort with dinosaurs being the main attraction. The movie counterpart of the same name has spawned four sequels all overseen by Steven Spielberg in some way or another. At the beginning of the novel Crichton write about how the world of genetics has changed and mentions a fictional small genetics lab company titled Ingen. He labels the short exposition “The InGen Incident”. The short chapter serves to partially set the tone of the novel. He does not mention any of the details of the incident but does let his audience know that something seedy and dangerous happened during the InGen incident…
Would not world will become marvelous if the dinosaurs poke their head through the windows of people’s houses? The movie, Jurassic Park has come to be very popular movie from the beginning. Jurassic Park encompasses with four parts, and it all has developed pretty successfully. They even made books for Jurassic Park and did not disappointed people. One of the reasons why people love this movie so much is that the idea of dinosaurs becoming an actual hold many people’s minds. In fact some people tried to find the way to make dinosaurs alive, but sadly the result showed impossible. The three important qualities that led to success of Jurassic Park are plot, conflict, and the theme.…
Because the mosquito was preserved in tree sap, they are able to get a genetic code. To take the code and make a dinosaur out of it they run the codes through supercomputers filling in the breaks in the code with frog DNA. Because the codes were run through the computers, the people at jurassic park weren't fully aware of what was really going on in the labs, causing severe problems in the system. From the beginning to the end of the book John Hammond is intentionally oblivious the dangers at the park. To him, whether or not the reanimation of dinosaurs is ethical or smart doesn’t matter to him as long as his lifelong dream to make dinosaurs walk to Earth again is accomplished. Hammond is also keen to the idea of having minimal staff, and to have the park ran mostly through supercomputers, unaware of the glitches in the systems that will later cause disastrous results to the park. Unlike Hammond, Ian Malcolm is positive the park will fail, ending with serious consequences, or so says the “chaos theory” that he specializes in. After a technical sabotage caused by Dennis Nedry, in his attempt to steal dinosaur embryos, the whole park starts to go downhill from there, following exactly along with Ian’s…
Hammond should have had a contingency plan ready in case of a power outage or a reboot. This was supposed to be a state of the art amusement park and Hammond did not plan for anything to go wrong. His desire to create a park that everyone would want to visit prevented him from seeing the flaws in his park. When Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler told him the park was a bad idea, he was surprised that they were against him. The reason he brought them there was so they could help him convince everyone to open the park. Hammond should have not been able to design the park by himself because of how emotionally involved he was. Some may argue that Hammond was aware of his flaws and he tried to fix them. For example, he noticed the car lights were not working and he told Nedry to fix them. In reality, Hammond was too naive even at the end when the dinosaurs escaped from their cages, thinking he can still save the park and not kill all the…

In 2015, The Jurassic Park film series came out with a new action-packed film to wow audiences and send them on a new adventure with a dinosaur that had been genetically modified to be bigger, better, and badder than any other on the island. Jurassic World is set twenty years after the first film and was made seventeen years after Jurassic Park was released. Yet, for all the advancements in graphics, acting and storyline, there is one thing that it seemed to take a step back with. Jurassic World is a sexist and stereotypical film when broken down and looked at. From the protagonist to even the minor characters, Jurassic World is laced with problems that should have been addressed well before filming started. It demands to be recognized after…
Zoos in general offer so much to the public, but zoos such as The Sand Diego Zoo and The Smithsonian National Zoological Park, exceed the expectations of any other zoo. Not only do they provide us with a huge variety of different species, introducing us to animals we would only dream of seeing, they go above and beyond, always keeping the animals’ best interest at heart to ensure them happiness. It’s always rewarding to witness the bliss and joy each animal displays, but a lot of hard work is behind each furry, little smile through all the conservation work behind the scenes. The San Diego Zoo and the Smithsonian National Zoological Park may be two completely different zoos, but they have one important similarity: their passion…
