By adoption maybe... how adventurous was somebody's grannysaurus and their special friend?
huh??? no i mean like via dna or something, i mean we all share a common ancestor and like a 50th cousin so i guess maybe
Not my area, but I think you need to go back much further than the dinosaurs for a common ancestor. I'm sure someone with actual knowledge will educate us in the comments.
dang much further?? ok thanks, well i suppose it makes sense, but i was talking about like some human features that are dino like too
Humans and dinosaurs have a common ancestor, but it's further up the tree than the dinosaurs. Mammals broke off from the reptile tree so whenever that split happened, that's who you're looking for. If you want to follow this train of thought further, we are all from the same primordial soup of bacteria. You me the birds, the bees, the bears, all of it.
