What if Dinosaurs still existed today?

[skynerel]

How do you think humans would navigate co-existing with Dinosaurs if they had never went extinct? I know they say birds are modern day dinosaurs, but I’m talking about the big prehistoric ones. Would they be relegated to Zoo’s? Could we even walk around cities without having a big fence to keep them at bay? Would people still be able to go on cruisers? The history of humanity and our evolution might be different if they were still around.

If they are still dominant then I am not sure if humans would exist.

The Jurrasic Park movies would sure hit differently.

If they are still dominant then I am not sure if humans would exist.

Maybe the development of human civilization wouldn’t have been possible in the same way we see today and a lot more people would still be living in the setting of a different era, unless humans somehow managed to tame them to, despite their size.

Maybe some of them would have evolved into humanlike creatures.

Maybe we'd have a society similar to the one in the Dinotopia books, show, and games. They could help with transportation, hunting, military, etc. I know in the series their coexistence was more of a special case, but it would be a neat hypothetical still.

it'd be interesting to see how ocean travel would be a thing if dinosaurs were to still exist. the worst predators today are sharks, and humans aren't really on the menu for them. their ancestors, though? and other marine life ocean predators at the time? everything's game. so current age humanity would have to figure out how to navigate all of that. s:

Human evolution would have taken a very different path to survive in a world filled with large pterosaurs and therapods which would have no trouble swallowing the modern human.

Edit: question only said dinosaurs, so we would probably have a chance not having to worry about giant lizard bats swooping down and swallowing us.

We'd probably train pet raptors and build large walled cities to keep the therapods out and then we would hunt them to extinction once we develop the ability to.

We'd also endanger and drive to extinction several ceratopsians, Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus, for trophies, armor, horns and folk medicine.

Pretty sure humans would have a little trouble surviving.
Unless we manage to find a way to tame the beasts...
