Do I remember rightly that Hammond and Lockwood fell out because of the cloning of his daughter? And this was before the original park opened? Then why was the girl a child instead of 20 something?
shareThey probably fell out over Lockwood's stated plan to clone his daughter. And it subsequently took years for him to actually pull off the science.
[none]
No that was not the reason. The reason for them to go seperate ways was that Hammond wanted to make a theme park with dinosaurs and make money with them while Lockwood just wanted them to live. The daughter plays no part in this.
shareI think an article said (as one theory goes) Hammond and Lockwood had a falling out because of the cloning of the daughter -- just as you said, OP. Apparently she died in a car accident many years ago and they've attempted many clones before the one we see in Fallen Kingdom.
The idea is that the earlier clones always had problems down the line and didn't live long or had other unfortunate complications. There's a line of dialogue in Fallen Kingdom where the villain says to James Cromwell "Don't think you're free from guilt either/don't think you're completely innocent in all of this." (something like that). I guess the implication is that Lockwood may have gone too far with making multiple human clones (and possibly discarding faulty ones?), and Hammond was deeply disturbed by this.
