Humans and dinosaurs living in harmony — that didn’t really happen, did it? This article was originally published on April 24, 2020.This question is an easy one to answer — and it’s an unfortunate, but firm, no . Humans and non-avian dinosaurs never shared planet Earth together. We did not ride them, nor keep them as pets or harness them for domestic labor., likely when an asteroid struck Earth and the ensuing cataclysm wiped out a large percentage of life on the planet.
At some point in the past half-dozen million years, the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees and bonobos split into two groups. One of these would lead one day to humans, passing first through any number of intermediate groups of hominins. Modern humans are currently thought to have appeared around 300,000 years ago — more than 65 million years after the non-avian dinosaurs disappeared.
