When some animals go extinct, Nature doesn't simply clear the stage and bring out completely new ones. Mammals existed side by side with the dinosaurs; they just weren't as large or varied. Birds appeared before the dinosaurs died out (Some people say birds ARE dinosaurs, greatly modified).

It's hard to say what were the very first organisms, because they would have been soft-bodied and very tiny and wouldn't have left mineralized fossils. However, the earliest evidence of organisms is that of the "blue-green algae," also known as cyanobacteria. They were far more before the dinosaurs than the dinosaurs were before us.
