Uh, there are human tracks found next to dino tracks? Can you show me some evidence?

here's a nifty timeline of human/apes(from here):
Australopithecus ramidus - 5 to 4 million years BCE
Australopithecus afarensis - 4 to 2.7 million years BCE
Australopithecus africanus - 3.0 to 2.0 million years BCE
Australopithecus robustus - 2.2 to 1.0 million years BCE
Homo habilis - 2.2 to 1.6 million years BCE
Homo erectus - 2 to 0.4 million years BCE
Homo sapiens - 400,000 to 200,000 years BCE
Homo sapiens neandertalensis - 200,000 to 30,000 years BCE
Homo sapiens sapiens - 130,000 years BCE to present

human ancestores are the Homos except the neandertalensis), and sapiens sapiens are us, as you can see.

This is a paleontological timeline (from here):

Origin of Universe 10-15 Billion Years Ago (Estimates based on current Hubble Telescope data.)


Precambrian 4,560,000,000


Paleozoic 570,000,000


Mesozoic 248,200,000

Cenozoic 65,000,000

This timeline states that dinos were only in the Mesozioc period. Now, if that period ended when the cenozoic started, 65 million years ago, and human realtives have only been here a couple millions years, how could they have cohabitated?

And, even if there were "human" foot print next to dinosaur footprints, that could be explained by errosion. The impression was buried, and then uncovered, a human walked by it, and it was re-covered.

So, although it can never be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt (and few things in science can be without a nifty timemachine), I think there's more evidence (and general acceptance in the scientific community) that humans came well after the dinosaurs.
