Who had a better run, humans or dinosaurs?

Question

Dinosaurs died, but it wasn't their fault

We will all die eventually because of how things are going, and it is our own fault

Who had a better run?

Answer 1

why humans, of course.

"better" is a concept that only humans can understand.

and being inordinately self centered, since only we vote, we automatically win.

Answer 2

Dinos survived 160 million years and were wiped out by an asteroid (general scientific consensus). We've lasted a couple of million years (earliest humans not necessarily homo sapiens) and are in danger of being wiped out by our own ingenuity.

Answer 3

Dinosaurs survived to present as birds.  Humans are in no grave danger of extinction either, certainly not from a little warming.  You sound like you have already written your obituary.  There is no indication whatsoever that global warming will kill off humans and the implication is ridiculous IMO.

Answer 4

Shoot TURTLES have had a better run than us.  They may end up riding this one out too. They have outlasted the Dinos and everything except a few others.  I bet they have great Karma.

Answer 5

well seeing as dinosaurs survived more than 160 million years and us modern humans have had about 200.000 years, id have to say dinosaurs.

Answer 6

Heh interesting question.  You could argue that because we reached a level where we're capable of causing our own destruction, we had a better run.  The dinosours were just along for the ride, but we manipulated the planet's entire climate!
