Hi ,
Its a really interesting question. Human and dinosaurs co-existence ??? The dinosaurs are believed to extinct nearly 65 million years before humans appeared on Earth. But a number of evidences from different regions including the Paluxy river bed in Glen Rose, South America, Mexico, and California, formed the platform for doubting the above statement that dinosaurs and human beings never co-existed. People found foot prints of human and dinosaurs together in turkey. These evidences are really hard to dismiss.
Other evidences like a picture of a live Stegosaurus carved into an ancient Cambodian Temples (Angkor Wat) at Ta Prohm. Another amazing discovery reported by the German archeologist Waldenar Julsrud, he discovered numerous dinosaur figurines buried at the foot of El Toro Mountain, in the Valley of Acambaro, near North of Mexico City. There are lot of other evidences which really question the statement that dinosaurs and human beings never co-existed. It shows that people who were living in those areas thousand years ago had knowledge of what these dinosaurs looked like.
My only concern with this whole discussion is if human beings and dinosaurs coexisted, then there is something fundamentally wrong with the theories of succession of life described by the Evolutionists.
So, I am really not sure if the dinosaurs and human beings ever co-existed but in future I don’t think it is possible. Man is an animal who will never allow any other animal to dominate :). So, The Flintstones is not possible in future. 🙂

No there is no Evidence that humans and dinosaurs co-existed. Yes there are some footprints of dinosaurs and what look like human footprints side by side, but there were examined in detail and the “human foot prints” were indeed from a two legged upright dinosaur but the distinctive three prong toe marks had been eroded away and left what looked like a human foot. Homo Sapiens are a very recent arrival Only about 195,000 years ago. And no, we’re not descended from apes or monkeys but we did both decent from a common ancestor which we haven’t identified as yet.
As to whether humans could have survived in the same world as the dinosaurs? If you could get in a time machine and travel 65 million years ago (Suspending all the laws of physics) then humans would get on just fine. Humans live all over this planet in sometimes the most extreme environments and are supremely adaptable to those environemnt versus how a cold blooded dinosaur would. I can imagine warm blooded humans going night time hunting to simply carve up lethargic cold T.Rexs unable to really get into killer mode until the sun comes up!

Just to add to the excellent answers already given, we often forget that our planet’s atmosphere has changed radically over the last 4.5 billion years. (For 90% of Earth’s history the atmosphere was unbreathable to modern animal and plant life).
At the end of the Cretaceous period, around the time most dinosaurs went extinct, CO2 levels in the atmosphere reached 3000 parts per million (today it’s about 400 parts per million). High CO2 concentrations are toxic. Life at that time had evolved in those conditions but we haven’t. If you took a time machine back about 65 million years to see the dinosaurs (and who wouldn’t?) you could survive breathing the air in the short term maybe not a for a long period of time.
