Did humans coexist with dinosaurs in ancient times?

Diallo Lanphier

Hey amigo,

Great question! There's a lot of debate and speculation surrounding this topic, but to put it simply, the answer is no. Humans did not coexist with dinosaurs in ancient times.

There's a considerable amount of evidence supporting this claim. For starters, the most recent dinosaur fossils date back to around 66 million years ago, while the oldest human fossils date back to around 300,000 years ago. That's a pretty significant gap in time.

Additionally, many dinosaur species went extinct well before humans even existed. The most well-known example of this is the Tyrannosaurus rex, which lived around 68-66 million years ago and went extinct before humans evolved.

There have been a few instances where people have claimed to find evidence of humans and dinosaurs coexisting, but these claims have been debunked time and time again. For example, the infamous "Paluxy River tracks" that were once thought to be human footprints next to dinosaur tracks have been shown to be simply misinterpreted dinosaur footprints.

In short, while it would certainly be cool if humans and dinosaurs had existed at the same time, the evidence just doesn't support it. Instead, we'll have to settle for seeing their remains in museums and on the big screen.

Hope that helps!

Take care,
