Quote #10
"Your doctor Wu does not even know the names of the things he is creating. He cannot be bothered with such details as what the thing is called, let alone what it is." (5.47.99)
Malcolm points out the grievous limits of Wu's genetic engineering. He simply doesn't understand the kinds of things he's making. He doesn't even understand the basic biology of the animals whose DNA he uses to fill in the blanks. As a result, he makes dinosaurs that can switch their sex and therefore breed. Oops.
