"His brother is Don Bakker, the renowned economics professor at Nauset." -- There is apparently a Nauset High School, but I'm unable to find any facility of higher education named "Nauset". A Google search turns up very little evidence of Professor Don Bakker's "reknown" beyond this article and its clones. -- Writtenonsand 23:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
His brother teaches at Nauset High School, and is indeed an excellent economics instructor. His students recently averaged a 4.8 out of a 5.0 scale on the exam (2005), making for the highest average in the state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.119.156.138 ( talk) 09:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
From a casual knowledge of him, Bakker also rejects the astroid/comet theory of dinosaur extinction. He attributes reconnecting of populations and subsequent disease spread as the major killer, based on appearance of land bridges at the time. He also asserts that at least some dinosaurs cared for young. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.215.183.194 ( talk) 21:38, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
The depiction of Bakker in The Lost World: Jurassic Park is not affectionate. In interviews after the release of Jurassic Park (film), Bakker vigorously contested the anti-science themes of the film (which are even more prominent in the novel), noting that had the San Diego Zoological Society been in charge of Jurassic Park, things would have been very different. The Burke character is an arrogant know-it-all, undone by hubris-- which is pretty much the view that Crichton takes of scientists-- and is a mocking, not affectionate, caricature. That Bakker used the San Diego Zoo as his model of efficient management may account for that city being the one through which the dinosaur rampages in The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

The Greek and Spanish versions of this article state that “T” stands for “Thomas”. Anyone who can verify this?

Bakker has been married four times, and divorced at least three. He is also a superb artist (that's not an exaggeration) -- look at the drawings in his books. WilliamSommerwerck ( talk) 17:14, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
This is an extremely obscure reference given with no context, no explanation, and no citation or link for a reader who has no clue what the heck it means.
It strikes me as a casual and unnecessary witticism. If it is somehow important, more information needs to be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.5.144.50 ( talk) 23:22, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
The 7th footnote ( Robbert Bakker Profile) is a dead link... anyone have an updated source on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.237.218 ( talk) 02:35, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
