What type of animals did the first humans live with?

Question

I mean obviously if man ever was a caveman he would have to know how kill a wooly mammoth or giant lizard or face extinction.

Answer 1

The first members of the Homo genus, lived approximatively 130,000 years ago. That was before the rise of the mammoth, but way after the death of dinosaurs. The types of creatures that they would have had to live with include the giant ground sloth, early camels, and the saber tooth cats.

Answer 4

Mice, most likely!

Answer 5

First, the first member of the genus homo was Homo habilis which lived a couple million years ago.  It lived in Africa with pretty much the same suite of animals you would find there today.  The Mammoths were from Ice Age Eurasia and N. America and there is no evidence that they lived with them.  If you go back a few hundred thousand years, we have a potential human (or human ancestor) Homo heidelbergesis.  This character probably lived with the ice age megafauna as well as Africa.  The fossil evidence is very limited.  You are correct though, whether habilis or heidelbergensis, they were quite capable of taking care of themselves or they wouldn't have evolved.

Answer 6

If you mean up really close then my guess would be 6- and 8-leggers and assorted no-leggers.
