If dinosaurs and people coexisted, the dinosaurs would have probably eaten all of us!

I don't agree lol

We would have had much more protein in our diet. We would have driven a herd of dinosaurs over a cliff, and have enough meat for hundreds of people.

I've heard the theory that the only reason why mammals were able to evolve beyond rodent like creatures to the diverse and complex mammalian family of today is because the dinosaurs (with the exception of birds) went extinct.

i'm not so sure that the selective evolutionary pressures at the time, that allowed dinosaurs to evolve into what we know, would have allowed humans to develop and be recognizable.

air had a different composition in those times, massive insects would have been a problem.

as for eating dinosaurs, i imagine reptile isn't too tasty.

Dinosaurs were actually more akin to birds.
But even so, I've had alligator meat years ago, and it sincerely tastes like chicken.

The Jurassic equivalent of the duck?

I am trying to edit my post but I keep getting blocked out. The dinosaur is actually from the Late Cretaceous and the article calls it both duck and goose-like.

I actually went to a private school that had a Creationist agenda. They tried to use the foot prints in Glen Rose, that I myself have seen, as proof even though it's been known since the 80's there are no human foot prints along with the dinosaur ones. Sadly, I overheard a teacher at the library pouring that misinformation into her students' heads.

Dinosaurs were not reptiles, they're much closer to birds.

Actually, evidence show that many dinosaur species had feathures.

Did dinosaurs and humans ever coexist? The geological evidence says no. Dinosaurs died out several millions of years before humans ever existed. Certain films about cavemen however tend to show humans living with dinosaurs. If there are any cave paintings that resemble dinosaurs it's likely due to the cavemen find fossil remains of dinosaurs, not dinosaurs existing with humans.


Certainly. All modern birds are dinosaurs.

Therefore, dinosaurs and humans still coexist.

One time, I went to a restaurant and asked for dinosaur meat. The guy gave me fried chicken. He knew what I meant! :D

True, birds are a member of the clade dinosauria.

In fact, all terrestrial vertebrates are members of the Sarcopterygii clade.
This means that we are all lobe-finned fish.

I love Clades.


I wish more people loved clades! :)

We all know that humans and monkeys have a common ancestor ... but was the common ancestor a prehistoric monkey?

That would mean that we are still monkeys!


I think that it is more correct to say that we and monkeys have a common ancestor.

I fell on top of one once.

It didn't bite me. Professional courtesy, maybe?

Around here, they showed The Flintstones at something like 6:30 or 7:00 on Thursday nights back in the 1960s. All the other cartoons were in the morning before school, in the afternoon after school let out, or on Saturday mornings back then.
