The Age of the Dinosaurs was a very very long time.
When the asteroid that struck the Earth and wiped them out the T-Rex was one of the top preditors stalking what is now North America. This happened about 65 million years ago.
The iconic Stegosaurus, one of my favorites with its mysterious life leaf structures on its back and its spikey tail lived over 150 million years ago. Simply put, the T-Rex lived closer to our own time than it did to the Stegasours. Dinosaurs ruled the earth for over 180 million years. All that history came to an end one day 65 million years ago.
The earlist human like primates exist about 7 million years ago. Our own species has only been around about 300,000 years.
