It has always been suggested that a world-wide disaster killed off the dinosaurs, such as a meteor impact, which can be proven. Not ALL life became extinct though. Almost all sea-based creatures retained their life and were able to carry on as usual, it was the land-based creatures that suffered the direct consequences of the impact. This was 60,000,000 years ago, and of course humans were not evolved yet. If we talk of evolution we can say that the evolution from apes was a long way off, and not ALL animals died. Of course at this time monkeys were not around either, and so they obviously evolved from something else. A lot happens in 60,000,000 years, such as widespread evolution, and of course more species were being formed on the world. Look at crocodiles, for example. Water-based animals that are said to have been around the time your average dino walked on the earth. We can tell that they are of the same group by their specific characteristics, such as their tough armoured skin, which most dinosaurs had which enabled them to survive when living in the wild, as well as to fight off any predators they may have encountered. To really answer your question, the disaster wiped out most species of dinosaurs, but some certain species, such as many that had to ability to fly or swim, escaped relatively unharmed. 60m years allowed for mass evolution, as this is a long time period, and so humans were not even around at this time, and simply evolved from a closest ancestor - the monkey/ape.
What else can I help you with?
Why couldn't dinosaurs and humans coexist?
It's a question of chronology, time. Dinosaurs appeared long before humans. Then, due to a meteor strike the climate on earth changed and the dinosaurs died out. Long after that, humans appeared. If the meteor hadn't struck, dinosaurs would probably have lived on. Or maybe they'd still been beaten by the mammals, only slower. And maybe humans had never appeared. O maybe we had. No one can tell.
How long did dinosaurs live on earth and how long has man lived on earth?
If you look at the history of earth as a 15cm ruler dinosaurs are around 7cm and man is not even 1mm
Could you trust dinosaurs to not eat us?
As long as they were plant eaters Dinosaurs don't eat humans because there were still no humans when the dinosaurs roam the earth.
Were the Caveman first or the dinosaurs first?
Dinosaurs appeared on Earth long before the first humans or cavemen. Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which ended about 65 million years ago, while early humans appeared much later during the Pleistocene Epoch about 2.5 million years ago.
Who or what lived on Pangaea?
No. Pangaea broke up long before humans evolved.
Is it possible humans made artifacts of stone that resembled dinosaurs?
No. Dinosaurs were on the Earth long before humans. Don't listen to Jurassic Park!
How long ago did dinosaurs lived on earth?
65 million years ago.
If there were no humans on earth in the time of dinosaurs how did humans come back onto the earth afterward?
Humans didn't "come back"; that implies that they had been here and left for some reason. Most contemporary theories say that humans didn't come into existence until long after the death of the last dinosaurs. Humans developed from animals that lived along side the dinosaurs, but the animals were far from human in every way. This kind of thinking is different from approaches that suggest that all the animals came about at the same time.
Who inhabited the earth first human or dinosaur?
Dinosaurs inhabited the Earth before humans. Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which spanned from about 252 million years ago to about 66 million years ago. The first humans, as we know them today, evolved much later, around 300,000 years ago.
How long did Dinosaur lived?
Dinosaures lived for a million years (from the start to the end)
Have Scientists discovered if Dinosaurs could have had a Language?
Dinosaurs wer not intelligent like humans are, and therefore had no language. In fact we have no idea what dinosaurs sounded like since they all died off long before humans ever existed on the earth.
What happen to humans in dinosaur time?
Humans did not exist during the time of the dinosaurs, which lived approximately 230 to 65 million years ago. Dinosaurs thrived during the Mesozoic Era, while the earliest ancestors of humans appeared only around 6-7 million years ago, long after the dinosaurs had gone extinct. The extinction of dinosaurs, likely caused by a combination of volcanic activity and an asteroid impact, paved the way for mammals to evolve and eventually for humans to appear much later in Earth's history.
