Well, I am more concerned with the early history of InGen and the islands.


 * 1930s: Jews flee Nazi-Germany. The Hammond family takes some people into their home. As thanks they recieve a large piece of Baltic Amber. Young John Hammond is fascinated by the prehistic insects trapped inside. (This happend to David and Richard Attenborough)
 * 1940s: John Hammond watches ', ',  and his love to dinosaurs is born. John Hammond starts to read the dinosaur adventure novels by (see Trespasser).
 * 1943: John Hammond leaves home and goes to London (Trespasser).
 * 1969: John Hammond is obsessed with jungles populated with huge animals. He opens "Animal Kingdom" in Nairobi, Kenya.
 * 1970: John Hammond watches  and.
 * 1972:


 * Synthesis of the first complete gene, a yeast tRNA, by Har Gobind Khorana.
 * John Hammond gets a dream in which a huge bug feeds on a dinosaur and gets trapped in his piece of amber. A scientist extracts the DNA. John Hammond awakes and write it down (Trespasser).
 * John Hammond takes his idea to Dr. Norman Atherton and Laura sorkin. They agree to help him.
 * 1974: Hammond then goes to two Japanese investors, Hamaguri and Densaka. In the end, only the Japanese had the patience for his eight year plan.
 * 1975: International Genetic Technologies is founded. HQ in San Diego. Huge laboratory in Palo Alto. Laura sorkin, Norman Atherton and Dennis Nedry are employed. Collection of Mesozoic amber and extraction begins.
 * 1982: Geneticists and Henry Wu ask the  for funds to build an automated . The proposal is rejected. John Hammonds agrees to fund Hood and Wu's research. The development of the DNA sequencer starts at  and Hamachi. Norman Atherton dies.
 * 1983: The Hamachi-Hood, a premature version of the automatic gene sequencer is finished. The sequencing and synthesis of dino-DNA is much faster. Henry Wu becomes leader of the deextinction project.
 * 1984: First prehistoric animal was brought back to life.
 * 1986: InGen successfully clones their first dinosaur on Site B, Velociraptor.


 * 2001: The Ranger Station is set up at Isla Sorna to study and preserve the dinosaurs. Project is led by Alan Grant. Partly funded by Masrani.
