What century the dinosaurs roamed the earth?
Dinosaurs did not roam the Earth in a "century" but from from roughly 250 million (Triassic Period) to 50 million (Cenozoic Era) years ago. A meteor hitting the Yucatan peninsula, about 60-70 million years ago, is theorized to have caused such global destruction immediately, and changed the climate so radically over the following millennia, that dinosaurs were eventually wiped out of the gene pool of the world. Dinosaurs roamed the earth for around 180 Million years. They first appeared during the begining of the Mezoic Era, approximately 240 million years ago, and were wiped out at the end of Mezoic Era, approximately 75 million years ago, although some modern speicies may be descendants of dinosaurs.
Did prehistoric man and dinosaurs live at the same time?
Dinosaurs became extinct sixty-five million (65,000,000) years before there was anything remotely resembling a human on the plains of Africa. Not all dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. Some lines continued into semi-modern times and were scouted as the Anakims in the time of Joshua. So men did co-exist with the dinosaurs.
Will dinosaurs ever exist again?
They still do. Many scientists consider modern birds to be dinosaurs. But it is unlikely that they will develop into anything resembling "classic" dinosaurs. Once a group of animals goes extinct it is gone forever.
Is it true that dinosaurs had wooden condoms?
Dinosaurs and Condoms Nobody knows for sure when condoms were first used.But, assuming man created condoms -- and estimates of the oldest human ancestor date back 195,000 years, while dinosaurs lived about 220 million and 65 million years ago - it's safe to say dinosaurs did not have wooden condoms, or any sort of condoms for that matter. In addition, if they did have some form of natural-made condom, it is highly doubtful they had a conscious awareness or intelligence as to how to use them.Other responses by WikiAnswers contributors:Also, dinosaurs laid eggs, therefore eliminating the need for condoms.Responding to the above comment: Even if a dinosaur laid eggs, that has nothing to do with conception. The main purpose of a condom is to prevent the sperm from fertilizing the egg -- and the egg would be laid regardless of whether or not it was fertilized.And on the humorous side...They sure did. Actually, once the wooden condoms were fastened on the dinosaurs, they were unable to be removed, which, incidentally, is why the dinosaurs became extinct. Certain dinosaurs, however, abstained from the use of condoms on religious grounds, and it is these dinosaurs that survived and evolved into modern birds and reptiles.Only if the dinosaur was Dutch.They did, but the guys with the little bitty arms had a serious problem.
What is the Cenozoic Era?
The Cenozoic Era is the third and current era in the Phanerozoic Eon, and is one of three, the two other eras being the Paleozoic and Mesozoic. Cenozoic is derived from Greek and means "new life." The Cenozoic began about 65 million years ago in the wake of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, and continues to the present. It is now subdivided into three geologic periods rather than two: the Paleogene, Neogene, and Quaternary. The Tertiary period is no longer used by geologists. This era is known for the diversification of mammals and birds into modern forms, the rise of humans, and the advent of modern Earth. Mammals rapidly flourished after the extinction of the dinosaurs, and so did the birds. Grasses and flowers spread throughout most of the world. The continents continued to drift towards their current positions as the Earth's overall climate went on a cooling and drying trend. Finally, humans appeared.
What is the name for the modern era which began approximately 65 million years ago the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
Cenozoic
What is the name for the modern era which began approximtely 65 million years ago with the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
The modern era that began approximately 65 million years ago with the mass extinction of the dinosaurs is called the Cenozoic era. It is also known as the Age of Mammals, as mammals began to dominate the Earth during this time.
Did humans appear 60million years after the dinosaurs were extinct?
The earliest member of the human genus evolved 63.2 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs. Modern humans didn't evolve until 65.3 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Dinoursaurs lived on earth for approximately how many years?
I think they lived (the dinosaurs) for approximately 165 million years.
How many years do dinosaurs exist?
Well, for starters, dinosaurs first came to the earth around 280 million years ago, they were wiped of the face of the earth around 65 million years ago. Technically speaking, they have lived for a total of 215 million yeas ago.
When did dinosaurs disappear from earth?
It is impossible to fix the dinosaurs' extinction to a specific year for several reasons:There were no intelligent animals alive at the time of the dinosaurs, and so there were no calendars and no record keeping.Even though dinosaurs are thought to have become extinct due to a single cataclysmic event, the actual extinction process itself likely took place over several years, decades, or even centuries.Even if the extinction was confined to a single year, there is currently no means to date the extinction event that precisely.
From what dinosaur did cats evolve?
Cats did not evolve from dinosaurs. Cats evolved from a common ancestor of modern carnivores, which lived after the extinction of dinosaurs.
Did dinosaurs evolve into birds before or after a meteor killed all the dinosaurs?
Birds evolved in the late Jurassic Period about 150 to 145 million years ago. This was about 90 to 95 million years before the asteroid impact that marked the K-T extinction event.Just a sub note that most scientist recognise that birds are a specialised branch of the therapod dinosaur. Birds are dinosaurs in the same way cats are mammals.
How long ago where dinosaurs around?
Depending on the species, dinosaurs were around anytime between about 230 million years go to about 65 million years ago. However, if birds are included as dinosaurs, as they are by most paleontologists, then dinosaurs are still around to this day. A young earth Creationist would say that dinosaurs were created on Day 6 of God's creation. Man was created on Day 6 as
How many days ago did the dinosaurs live?
Dinosaurs existed 65.5 million years ago. Back then, a day was about 23 hours. Saying that an average day between modern times and the dinosaur age was 23.5 hours, and a year is 365.25 x 24 hours, then the dinosaurs died out about 24,431,500,000 days ago.
Did humans and cave men exist during the time of the dinosaurs. How do you know?
No they did not. Simple radiometric dating and stratigraphy shows that the time of the dinosaurs ended 65.5 million years ago. Humanoid fossils did not appear until about 5 million years ago, and modern humans appeared about 200,000 years ago.
