Lucy was dated at 3.2 million. There is a new contender, "Ardi" who is dated to 4.2 million. I think we might have still "occurred" even with the dinosaurs, as nukes_da_bass noted, our higher intellect is quite an advantage. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...missing-link-chimps-ardipithecus-ramidus.html

Something Borderline Offensive
It takes a lot of time to get smart. Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. Modern humans have only been around for the last ~100K years. It takes a lot of smarts and a lot of organization to overcome a lack of speed, strength, size, armor, etc. It was only through a very unique set of changes that we came into being, and those changes wouldn't have occurred with the established order on the planet the way it was. Insects, reptiles, and dinosaurs filled nearly every niche on land. There just wasn't room for us to quietly get 65 million years of evolution in without a substantial foothold.
I met Jah Wobble once. He was jolly unpleasant and short-tempered, the cad.
It would be something if that is the meaning of life. Basically we're here to support 7-11 etc.
The meaning of life.
I can't really say what I want to say in this thread.....
if I do it will probably degenerate and go south pretty quick......with the resultant lock-out.
I have a couple of questions........but asking them might start a firestorm.

Titus, you can experience my late mother. Dim the lights, light a smoke, then lick the ashtray. Mom was cremated.
BeJebus! - it was just a badly-timed "yo mama" joke. Cut the man some slack...
I recommend an abrupt round of "yo mama" jokes to break things up.
Titus - yo momma is so so stupid she got stabbed in a shoot-out.
.... such a bad cook even Julie Childs couldn't help.
Brits are hard to abuse.

While I agree with this, I think us as the ultimate predator not only on the earth but in the universe too.
I doubt there's a life form that is more violent, twisted than us, and we'd probably find a way to make shoes out of Tyrannosaurus skin.
My brother had a hamster that I believe was more than a little off. His eyes........he had crazy eyes. He didn't look at you. He looked through you.
One of my ex-es had a few hamsters. There was this one little demon. It was possessed, I'm telling you.
We used to get in fights and she had to break us up. It was chewing my finger while looking at me with it's cold eyes. I sometimes heard whispers coming from their room during night, "redrum, redrum...".
Whatever that means.

I think it's Dutch for "wanna make out later?"
Makes sense as how the female one always climbed on my foot and tried to get into my trousers.
