We might be more advanced because we would have had to develope larger weapons faster to counter the threat they pose to our survivle.

dont you think that having dinosaurs roaming around would have disrupted advancement just a tad . particually when they are eating all of our smartest scientists. a few raptors loose inside a lab is really gonna set you back a bit

but then again a few longbows and arrows will set the raptors back aswell.

oh yeah & those automatic machine guns those mercs in jurrassic park 3 had are a step back from long bows lol. but then we are forgetting the infamous T-Rex (er somehow i think your gonna need a bigger bow )

you dont get it do you? i hate to break this to you but if the dinosaurs were still walking about today, we would NOT be the dominant species on the planet. we would be quite a few notches down the food chain, and almost constantly in hiding from those higher up. where exactly are we gonna get the time or minerals to start building cannons and missles.

steel comes froms mountains, people hide in caves, use a tool to get the metal out of the cave and there you are, a cannon is born

ding ding ding, tell roach what he's won johnny. i hate to break this to you, what am i kidding i love it, but dinosaurs weren't like jurassic park. you have to take into account what period of time you are talking about, since a lot of the "ferocious" dinosaurs from the jurassic park movies were actually from the later cretacious period, or spread out from other periods. statistics show you'd more often run into a herbivore than a carnivore, so the only thing you'd have to worry about is being stomped on. besides, human ancestors had to avoid tigers, lions, panthers, and bears (oh my!). any one of those can easily take a human 1v1, and yet we survived long enough for me to correct you.

who says siege weapons had to be cannons? there was blasitas catapults and not only siege weaponsbut poisions look at the amazon tribes they use blow pipes with poison to kill pray i'm sure if you had 20 humans blowing poision tip darts at you you would be dead very very quickly.

Even if dinosaurs were among us we would still be the dominant species. As someone has mentioned b4 humans already fought lions bears and stuff, but also do not forget mammoths(spelling?), they didnt actually attack humans but humans attacked them eventhough they were as strong as a medium size dinosaur

dinosaurs are a whole different ball game from lions & bears (whose descendants are still around today). also the big but with mammoths (which were probably closer to the strength of a smaller end dino by the way) is that they didn't go out of their way to attack humans, you can bet on yer life a pack of rapters & the occasional t-rex are gonna pick up your scent and go out of their way to hunt you down.

@eufnoc, dont forget most dinosaurs had either a kind of armour plating or extremely tough skin, so i doubt if a machine gun is struggling to punch through it a blow pipe is its weakness.

also dont forget that their would be no schools or supermarkets around, not to mention the other technological advances (internet, phones etc etc..) so there would be no way to communicate with others outside of your tribe (unless you got a really load voice lol). where am i going with this? well say some smart bloke does find out the weakness of the dinos, hows he gonna tell everyone. oh dear he just died, back to square 1 lads.

more power is not always better kevlar can stop bulltes but a person with a knife can still cut through it if he comes at it from the right angle. Every thing has a weakness and if there are a couple houndret darts fling though the air several of them are bound to hit the creater in the eyes which is what the people would problely be aming for anyway.
