In the past, it was thought that only chimpanzees, gorillas, and humans possessed the capability to create and implement plans. This belief highlighted the unique cognitive abilities of these species and their advanced problem-solving skills. However, recent discussions challenge this notion, suggesting that other organisms might also exhibit similar cognitive traits.

In "Jurassic Park," Michael Crichton explores the implications of genetic engineering and the creation of life in a world where boundaries between species are blurred. The story invites readers to reconsider what qualities define intelligence and planning abilities, expanding the conversation to include the potential cognitive capabilities of other living beings.
