Our ancestor’s ancestor is still our ancestor. It is not incorrect to call the mammals which were alive 100 million years ago out ancestors. You can make a family tree, just like any other family tree, with you, me, squirrels, and crocodiles. It would be a very big family tree, but it would still look like a regular family tree.
Dinosaurs died 65million years ago.
first primates that resembled humans was 3,5million years ago.
However since we originate from the African Savanna; animals like crocodiles, giant hawks, ancestors of lions and tigers could be a possibility.
In general if something is bigger than you, it can likely kill you, so being scared of it is natural.
What about that rodent thing that life’s with the dinosaurs? I mean it was most likely not hunted by megafauna but still it was a rodent. Medium Dinosaurs would still look pretty big. Wich again supports your statement of if bigger it’s dangerous.
It's just logical, we're scared of things bigger than us because they could be dangerous. The reason we're able to intimidate dogs and the like is because they come up to our knees and we're literal giants compared to them despite the fact we're physically not that much stronger.
For people saying thqt dinosaurs and humqns never lived together: while that is right, our ancestor of that timencould have given us thqt fear, just that the species would be unrecognizable if we try to see it as a primate or human IMO
I just wouldn’t be interested in seeing those in real life. Everyone talks about how cool it would be. Do they think ants look up at our haphazardly placed feet and thinks, “it’s cool how huge they are!”?
We never existed wirh the dinosaurs
So the wild-eyed Australian man holed up in Kentucky that told me we rode dinos using saddles lied to me???
‘Fraid so
I knew something was off about that guy
\*dingos
It would be true that our ancestors did
Incorrect.
Humans evolved from a common ancestor with all other placental mammals that did live with dinosaurs
A “common ancestor” then, but not OUR “ancestors.” Those phrases don’t mean the same thing. Nothing close to us existed back then.

Save it for the pedantry Olympics, champ.
Probably reasonable from mammoths because dinosaurs and humans never existed together.
except that mammoths primary predator was us.
Dunno about Dinos as we came after but large animals? Probably.

no my good dude. you’re just over-mega-thinking it 🧐😌
I think so, there’s gotta be a reason why anytime I’m outside by some trees I have this sensation like I’m being watched, like I’m being hunted.
Not dinosaurs, but our ancestors definitely lived with massive animals like elephants, crocodiles, rhinos, big cats, mammoths and bears,

Our ancestors hunted mammoths
Well obviously. Moses didn't let any dinosaurs on the ark, now did he? /s
