Frogs & Salamanders: These seemingly delicate amphibians survived the extinction that wiped out larger animals. Lizards: These reptiles, distant relatives of dinosaurs, survived the extinction. Mammals: After the extinction, mammals came to dominate the land.
The first modern humans (i.e. Homo sapiens) appeared around 300,000 years ago, tens of millions of years after the dinosaurs went extinct. The earliest humans are thought to have lived in Africa, before moving out into what is now Europe and Asia, and eventually inhabiting most other parts of the world.
For approximately 120 million years—from the Carboniferous to the middle Triassic periods—terrestrial life was dominated by the pelycosaurs, archosaurs, and therapsids (the so-called "mammal-like reptiles") that preceded the dinosaurs.
No! After the dinosaurs died out, nearly 65 million years passed before people appeared on Earth.
Answer and Explanation: Humans are mammals, and after the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, mammals began to multiply and diversify across many parts of the earth. Humans belong to a group of mammals called primates. Gorillas, chimps, monkeys and lemurs are some other types of primates.
According to the Bible, dinosaurs must have been created by God on the sixth day of creation. Genesis 1:24 says, “And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.”
The First Humans
One of the earliest known humans is Homo habilis, or “handy man,” who lived about 2.4 million to 1.4 million years ago in Eastern and Southern Africa.
In an evolutionary sense, birds are a living group of dinosaurs because they descended from the common ancestor of all dinosaurs.
Ok, first thing: Please tell us that dragons could be real.
"Unfortunately, no, we do not have evidence of dragons on this planet. We do have evidence of very cool extinct animals that were kind of similar to dragons, but no fire-breathing six-legged vertebrates, I'm afraid."
Variables such as temperature, food sources, and oxygen levels are all factors that might impact dinosaur survival. Because dinosaurs lived in much warmer climates millions of years ago, many experts doubt they could even survive today.
The age immediately prior to the dinosaurs was called the Permian. Although there were amphibious reptiles, early versions of the dinosaurs, the dominant life form was the trilobite, visually somewhere between a wood louse and an armadillo. In their heyday there were 15,000 kinds of trilobite.
In fact, life existed for hundreds of millions of years before the dinosaurs. And early life came in many shapes and sizes! Some of the most interesting animals lived during the Carboniferous period. At that time, Earth was covered in hot, humid swamps and rainforests.
Sixty-six million years ago, dinosaurs had the ultimate bad day. With a devastating asteroid impact, a reign that had lasted 180 million years was abruptly ended.
The first human ancestors appeared between five million and seven million years ago, probably when some apelike creatures in Africa began to walk habitually on two legs. They were flaking crude stone tools by 2.5 million years ago. Then some of them spread from Africa into Asia and Europe after two million years ago.
This is because animals today have a very different evolutionary past to dinosaurs. They evolved to have features that help them survive in today's world, rather than a prehistoric one. And these features limit the ways they can evolve in the future.
The first person to die is Abel at the hands of his brother, which is also the first time that blood is mentioned in the Bible (4:10–11).
After the Doom of Valyria (likely due to volcanic activity), the dragons went extinct in Essos. Five dragons survived when the Targaryen family fled Valyria for their colony on Dragonstone.
Revelation 12:3 reads, “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Later, in Revelation 20:2, the text calls Satan a dragon. It states that the dragon will be bound for a thousand years.
Dragon aerodynamics
If we use the standard earth sea-level air density of ρ = 1.2kg/m3, this gives a lift coefficient of 36. Which is completely unrealistic.
Crocodiles are not dinosaurs, but both crocodiles and dinosaurs came from the crown group Archosaurs. Archosaurs were reptiles that included birds, crocodiles, pterosaurs, and dinosaurs. Modern-day birds are descendants of feathered dinosaurs, evolving over the last 65 million years.
Mammals: After the extinction, mammals came to dominate the land. An early relative of all primates, including humans, survived the extinction. Snakes: Although a number of snake species died out around 65 million years ago, snakes as a group survived.
Humans never lived with dinosaurs like the T-rex, but only birds. Modern humans are much younger and have only evolved recently, around 300,000 years ago.
Co-lead researcher Shimona Kealy said these people probably travelled through Indonesia's northern islands, into New Guinea and then Australia, which were part of a single continent between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago, when sea levels were 25-50 metres below the current level.
The first humans to leave Africa 40,000 years ago are believed to have had dark skin, which would have been advantageous in sunny climates. But humans did not uniformly develop light skin when they reached the colder regions of Europe.
Probably not. Ethical considerations preclude definitive research on the subject, but it's safe to say that human DNA has become so different from that of other animals that interbreeding would likely be impossible.
