    If humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time, would they drive dinosaurs to extinction like humans did to almost every large land animal ever?

      Dinosaurs had tons of different sizes and niches. We didn’t extinct literally all megafauna - bears, elk, ostriches (literal dinosaur!) still exist and are so common that they’re often nuisances.

      Velociraptors would be nice pets, instead of dogs.

        We already have pet velociraptors, they’re called chihuahuas.

          The Juasic Park movies were complete wrong with the Velociraptors size, they were only right that they were smart and social animals, hunting in groups like wolfs. It was a misunderstanding, because the paleontologist, asked by the size, said 6 ft, but they meant from the head to the tip of the tail, not the height of the animal, like in the movie, which were not bigger than a turkey.

          Same as with the T-Rex following the car in the movie, the T-Rex couldn’t run so fast, the biomechanic calculation and the weight has shown, that the max speed of the T-Rex couldn’t have been more than ~15-20 kmh, he was probably more of a scavenger than a hunter.

      Some herbivores might have survived as domesticated livestock.

      Though if they tasted like chicken, all bets are off. We’d probably do to the poor bastards what we did to silphium.

      Unless some of 'em were smarter than us or they could out-reproduce our appetite, I would reckon so.

      there’s a theory that life (metabolism) predates cells. which implies that the first living organism was an global spanning supercell bound be coastlines not cell walls. miss being there, miss LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor)

            I meant like how there currently a global mycelium network.

            I definitely used poor wording.
