If we could trace our family trees back to when the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, our ancestors would have been little tree-living, nocturnal, insect-eating proto-primates. 100 million years ago, when dinosaurs were in their prime, we had a common ancestor with mice!
Our species has "only" been around for 200,000 to 250,000 years ago. An interesting fact is that everyones male line (fathers father father etc) goes back to a common ancestor 60,000 to 90,000 years ago. And everyones female line goes back to a common ancestor 150,000 years ago. And 10,000 years ago, there was a person alive who everyone on earth today is descended from. This is all from DNA though, I wish we could trace our family trees back that far!

The dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. The oldest human-like remains are around 4 million years old. If you count rats or beaver-like mammals as your ancestors, then you did have great-to-the-millionth-degree grandparents when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

The truth is that there WERE ancestors when dinosaurs walked the earth, however, they simply weren't human. They were probably some distant creature that doesn't even look remotely like us. Either way, there were no humans when ugly dinos were around.

Dinos used to eat our ancestors. Your great^a millionth grandfather was a rat. He had rat parents and rat children and got eaten by dinos. Only because the K-T impact did we evolve. No other reason.

the earliest hominid we've ever found is only about 3 million years old. The last dinosaurs died 65 million years ago

No, Dinosaurs died out around 75,000,000 years ago. Humans didn't appear on earth until about 250,000 years ago.
