Most likely, no.
But intelligent, technology-building life may still have evolved. Any major change within the past would alter evolution, and it's highly doubtful homo sapiens sapiens would evolve twice under different circumstances.
It would be cool to have descended from raptors though!

Early humans/hominids always had predators (sabre-toothed tiger, to name one). Dinosaurs would just have been a different predator. The biggest issue would be finding food. Dinosaurs ate a LOT, which wouldn't leave much for us. However, humans have an evolutionary advantage: dinosaurs are perfect for their environment. We are not. Therefore, when the environment shifts during, say, an ice age, humans would be able to live on, being somewhat able to thrive, whereas the dinosaurs would have died off.

I do not think so. The dinosaurs would continue to live on since they have been so successful living on earth for millions of years before their extinction. Human (homo sapiens) have only been on earth for less than2 millions years or less compared to the dinosaurs 100 millions or more.

Things may have progressed very differently if dinosaurs had survived whatever wiped out so many of them (birds do still live on). We will never know, but it is very likely humans, in the present form at least, would never have come about.

Impossible to say.
Early mammals didn't really benefit from the dinosaurs going extinct so much as benefit from their ability to survive the events that killed off dinosaurs.
We'd probably still have mammals, just mammals adapted to avoid dinosaur preditors.

From discovery programme about asteriod. It is believed that an asteriod is coming to earth the year 2032 if not check it may crush the world to pieces.That means a suatition worst compared to what happened to the dinosuars.Not mentioning the global warming and other disasters.maybe man can go that way if this is possible.

Makes me wonder what creatures will be dominant when humans are extinct. Will insects one day be stupid enough to think they were created in the image of God?

i dont think so because the extinction of dinosaurs leads to the rise of mammals. and we, human are part of mammals. therefore, if dinosaurs didn't went extinct,there couldn't any mammal domainance.

Probably not. On the other hand, you never know, we might have arrived even sooner than we did. Have you ever read West of Eden?
