How did the caveman survived extinction?

Question

I am not a religious guy at all so bible thumper please don't throw some religious stuff toward me as an answer. I just wondering how if we come from cavemans did we survived the rain of Asteroids that killed all the dinosaurs in the world? Even if we're able to run into a cave, the atmophere will be so bad that when we get out for some water or whatever we should all die. I just don't get it.

Answer 1

watching to many old science fiction movies - the whole point of Jurassic Park the movie was that man and dinosaurs can't co-exist.

Answer 2

People are so kind to each other. I suppose that is why everyone was so eager to tell you that you are stupid. I hope this does not discourage you from asking questions and learning new things. The are correct though (most of them) - dinosaurs were extinct long long before humans, or even pre-human hominids, were around.

Answer 3

cavemen weren't around at the same time as dinosaurs you idiot. dont you watch any discovery channel?

Answer 4

Groan Humans evolved millions of years AFTER the extinction of dinosaurs.

Please go to the library and borrow some science books!

Answer 5

Man was not alive during the dinosaur times, what mammals lived were small that could hide and eat less and had small lungs

Answer 6

By not being around for another 65 million years.

Answer 7

An even better question, is how Homo sapiens survived the nuclear winter which followed the Mt. Toba (Indonesia) volcanic explosion 74,000 years ago...

It was the largest volcanic explosion in the past 2 million years, and experts estimate that the world human population was reduced to appx. 2-10,000!

Answer 8

The Dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago. We humans have been around for the last 3 million. There wasn't a problem with surviving a world wide asteroid event.

The end of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago opened up the ecology and allowed mammals to evolve. They filled up the empty spaces left by the dinos and took over..  

Answer 9

contrary to popular cartoons like the flintstones caveman and dinosaurs did not exist at the same time.  If you believe in evolution, at the time of dinosaurs Us humans were still probably some sort of fish in the water, still trying to figure out how to get out of water.  If you believe in aliens, then aliens had not plant the seed that became humans.  And if you believe in the bible than, I guess god had not created man yet.
