Is a human fossil older than a dinosaur fossil?

Answer 1

No. The last dinosaurs died out 64 million years ago. In fact, there were at least 3 major extinction periods in which nearly all the species of that time were wiped out. The dinosaurs of the Jurassic and Cretacious periods were quite different, but new species began to appear millions of years after each extinction event. On the other hand, the very earliest hominids lived around 7 million years ago, and modern humans (Homo sapiens) did not appear until around 200,000 years ago. So, scientists have never found dinosaur and human fossils together in the same geological layer.

Supposed human and dinosaur footprints can be seen together in solidified volcanic ash at Glen Rose in Texas. They involve some indistinct markings of uncertain origin, and a smaller number of doctored and carved specimens. They are not human footprints.

Answer 2

No. Dinosaurs predate humans by millions of years and were extinct when humans evolved.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

No.
