Is it possible that Humans and Dinosaures lived on this planet at the same time?

Answer 1

we did cause i seen a movie where a caveman attacked a dinousar.

Answer 2

When you're talking about that long ago, its not hard to say with 100% certainty. It is possible.

However, all scientific evidence is against it. The earliest fossils containing human fragments are less than a million years ago. The latest fossils containing Dinosaur fragments are aboiut 65 million years old.

During that intervening time, there are many fossils of mammals getting progressively more complex, until pre-hominids, pre-human primates and eventually humans.

So ... if humanity is that young, the only way for them to cohabit would be for dinosaurs to have not died out that long ago. I suppose they could have lived on but not left any fossilized record.

Its pretty unlikely though.

Answer 3

No.

Mammals, which we humans are descended from were small, weak, creatures while the dinosaurs ruled the earth. It was not until the massive extinction circa 65 million years ago that our mammalian predecessors had the chance to thrive again. For most of our larger predators and competitors for food were not able to adapt and survive the extinction.

Its not the first mass-extinction either. The dinosaurs' ancestors survived a massive extinction and were amongst the first species to recover and exploit the gap in apex species to grow larger & dominate the earth. Some species of dinosaurs likely evolved; its believed that birds evolved from a small & clever predators called raptors {which were small, much smaller than in Jurassic park}.

There is a really cool show/series on the discovery channel about the world before the dinosaurs.

Answer 4

There is actually some interesting theories on that. Most however believe that by the time humanity came about, dinosaurs were pretty much extinct. Scientists are more lenient on amphibious and aquatic dinosaurs.

The purported Loch Ness Monster(s) is sometimes alleged to actually be a surviving dinosaur, a descendant of the plesiosaurus. The theory is furthered a bit by the fact that a lot of lake monsters, like Vermont's Lake Champlain's monster, "Champ" has also been described to look strikingly like a plesiosaurus. Russia's Lake Brosno also is allegedly home to a 'Brosno Dragon' lake monster, which again has been described to look strikingly like a plesiosaurus.

Italy's Como Lake is also allegedly home to 'Lariosauro', which some witnesses claimed to look identical to a Lariosaurus (from which it was then nicknamed after). The purported monster(s) Mokele-mbembe of the Congo river basin is often alleged to be a dinosaur, specifically a saurapod of some kind. The purported Nahuelito monster(s) of Patagonia, Argentina are also often described as plesiosaurus. There are hundreds of other monsters, especially lake monsters which have been described as dinosaurs. Just some thing to consider.

Answer 5

No. Humans have always had exposure to dinosaur fossils, but could you imagine the effect upon early culture had dinosaurs been around?

Answer 6

a lot of scientist say no, but there are some that say there might have been humans or human like beings around when the dinosaurs were around.
In Peru a scientist found some stones, some small, some pretty huge, that had carvings in them dating back to the time of the dinosaurs (a time thought to be predating humans)
The carvings that are in the stones depict humans and dinosaurs and humans with dinosaurs, they also found a map of the world that was accurate, we didn't even have accurate maps until the 17th century.
The scientists don't know what to think of this but it seems to clearly be evidence that humans lived here with the dinosaurs. I don't know if you believe in psychics, so I don't know if you would be interested, but most psychics believe that people from another world lived here before us but left because the planet was so inhabitable (earthquakes, volcanoes, the tectonic plates breaking up)
They believe that these stones are from them. weather they are wrong or right, someone was here to make those when the dinosaurs where here.

wow, a lot of people on here have such a one dimensional way of thinking. There is no absolute no, just as there is no absolute yes. We can't just go along with what past scientists have taught us, what teachers have taught us, we have to explore and think for ourselves and be open to new ideas, new answers are found everyday. Who is to say everything we know about the human time-cycle (don't like to call it a "time-line") is exact and correct?
There are a lot of books and research on the topic of the stones in Peru that I told you about, I think the History channel showed something on it too.

Answer 7

No. dinosaurs were gone millions of years before humans

Answer 8

If you regard komodo dragons, crocodiles, turtles as dinosaurs, yes. T-Rex, no. If a person in lost in a Creationist nighmare facing incontrovertible science, then heshe can have fantasies of what you are asking.

Answer 9

No. The time gap between the two Species is WAY too great. Dinosaurs are the REAL "Golden Oldies" of our Planet... Humans are the "New Kids on the Block..." :)

Answer 10

It is possible with a probability of

0.00000000000000000000003971

Now, as has been pointed out: the possibility that humans existed (yesterday) with the descendants of Dinosaurs:

Very good!

Answer 11

Dinosaurs died off about 60 million years ago. Humans did not appear until about half a million years ago.
