We have been conditioned by 50 years of TV to think that a group of Bruce
Willis look-alikes will overcome any adversity. Certainly, if Bruce had a
supply channel providing rocket-launched grenades etc, the Dinosaurs would
have kept a respectful distance.

However, if you consider how life would actually have been lived in
Dinosaur Park, you might think that the ability to dig deep burrows, or run
VERY fast, would be more advantageous than a little intelligence (you can't
evolve full intelligence as we know it in one step).
